Easy to enter and output data, gentle learning curve. Mostly important to me is sharing data with among different people in a large working group-simply pass the text file on to others, and small text file is only a few kilobytes. I have also found ways to output the data in the text file into Excel, then you can do whatever with your data.

We will solicit input from the broader paleontological community once we’ve evaluated available products as well as the possibility of developing our own in-house product. Right now we really just want to make sure that we aren’t missing any software packages that are already on the market. We are doing a similar search and evaluation with core description software after management requested a market assessment before moving forward with a DESClogik replacement project For core description we did send out a questionnaire to scientists who have sailed recently, but we have opted not to do that for paleontology at this point given the limited number of “off-the-shelf” products available.

Bugware is easy to learn and does most everything that one could want, including (and especially) importing other data files (e.g., NGR, L*) and forming reasonable charts. Stratabugs is expensive (>$5000 per year), hard(er) to learn, and has a tendency to produce charts that are unusable because of size.

It seems we’re constantly generating shipboard data that is not easily able to be synthesised and managed for the purposes of the micropaleo community.

This software fulfils our needs, and those of our clients. Data input (and export/transfer) is simple. The graphical output is sophisticated and powerful, and multi-well correlation panels incorporating many parameters are now generated quite easily, once the necessary templates have been set up. Having said this the process of chart generation has become more complicated (I would say unwieldy) following a change to a template-based model. Following lots of feedback from us StrataData are working on making the "Charts & Templates" model more user friendly. Having never used Bugwin I cannot comment on the usability of this software. I have reviewed some Nannofossil distribution charts produced in Bugwin (or BugCAD?) and the chart quality was not comparable to StrataBugs; in fact interpretation of sample depths was difficult. Admittedly these charts were produced 10 years ago, and the graphical output may have improved, or there may be options to generate charts in alternative, higher resolution formats. I do not know. If BugWin is available free for academic use then that is a major plus. Data logged in BugWin should be easily transferred to StrataBugs, and if the IODP's main database were in StrataBugs this would enable production of more sophisticated charts, and probably serve as a better long-term archive. I'm no IT expert and that's my personal opinion, for what it's worth.

A StrataBugs licence does not cost $5000/year as you state. For small businesses there is a one off charge (currently £5366) and we do offer an optional maintenance contract (currently £537). However, for academic institutions (and IODP would be considered as such) we offer a range of licencing options, outright purchase or various leasing arrangements at a fraction of this cost. You of all people should know this as you have licenced StrataBugs in the past for your students at the University of Nebraska at a very favourable rate! Regarding chart size – our major clients are in industry and they like big charts. However, if you were familiar with the lastest version of StrataBugs you would know that charts of publishable quality are now possible.
