SKAO Science Data Products

The SKAO will provide processed data products to the scientific community as part of their observing programmes. This brief reference document outlines what users can expect in terms of data delivery, the role of the SKAO and the SKA Regional Centre Network (SRCNet), and how users will access and engage with their data.

This document will provide information on:

• The types of data products that will be delivered to the science users.
• The lifecycle of data products, from when they are first generated, through advanced user analysis, to the delivery of the data to the science users.
• Roles and responsibilities of the SKAO, SRCNet and the user in the generation and delivery of data products

This document reflects the most up-to-date plan for SKAO data delivery and supersedes previously distributed versions.
