In most cases, an advance copy can be acquired (with appropriate caveats) by using the "contact us" option provided in the COPEPOD download link.

RESTRICTED DISTRIBUTION
(contact the source directly)
|
These data are not currently available via the COPEPOD system, but can be acquired by contacting the investigator and/or institution directly (contact directions are provided in the COPEPOD download link section).
These entries serve as an advertisement for existing data that are not presently in COPEPOD.
In most cases, the "restriction" is due to a desire by the original investigator(s) to make sure complex methods used in the data are understood (to avoid misinterpretation) or to control distribution of data currently being used for a publication or student thesis.
