Q. How long will data be stored in CaltechDATA?

In most cases, indefinitely.  Any data that violate the Terms of Deposit or which fails to meet minimum standards for retention may be withdrawn. For example, we may eventually remove deposits that consist of unusable/obsolete files or are inadequately described. Files that are larger in size may have higher standards for retention.  The DOI for all records will be retained and will lead to a tombstone page listing the reason for withdrawal.
