A step – by – step guided system that walks you through publishing research products, including datasets and white papers. Through Publications, all published research will obtain a DOI, license and go through a curation process before being published. Publications can be published through a Project or as a stand-alone publication on the Hub.

When publishing data through Publications, the primary content is selected first and then the publication is described through a title and abstract. Authors are added and can be modified to determine specific roles such as Submitter and Author. Images and supporting docs can then be uploaded, followed by choosing a publishing license, such as Creative Commons and adding Tags to determine the category of the Publication. Finally, DOIs and release notes can be added before the Publication is fit to be reviewed and submitted for Hub curators to review.

Hub curators are Hub members who have elevated permissions to access all “pending review” publications. Some set-up has to happen before curation can be completed. Curators can review all the parts of the Publication and make notes to areas where further work has to be completed before the publication is officially published. This is a crucial step for once a Publication is published, it will be available for the world to read and cite. 

While Publications comes with pre-defined categories, the grouping in which the content is affiliated such as workshop materials, and master types, the content type such as file type, administrators can modify and add new contributable areas specific to their field of interest. Administrators can manage categories and master types from the /administrator interface along with adding new licenses, batch create Publications and manage all drafted to published Publications.

Benefits

Creating a publication through a Project has many benefits, including:

• Allows for a consistent team to collaborate on a Publication or set of related Publications.
• Using the Publications feature through a Project allows Databases to be added to a Publication for public viewing.
• Integration with storage mechanisms such as Google Drive.
• Project team members will automatically show in the list of authors to choose from, making it easy to add the same authors to several different Publications.
• Gives related Publications a shared public Projects page that users can view to look at related Publications that were a part of the same Project.
