Note: This list also includes publications of the Joint Committee on Antarctic Data Management (JCADM), which was in place prior to SCADM.

SCADM coordinates the Antarctic Data Management System (ADMS). The ADMS is composed of:

• The Antarctic Metadata Directory (AMD)
• The National Antarctic Data Centres (NADCs)

The NADCs are a link between Antarctic scientists and the AMD. Antarctic scientists are responsible for creating metadata, but are also the major beneficiaries of the system.
