Return dataset to author¶

If a submitted dataset has not been appropriately structured and documented, the curator returns the dataset to the author: Click the Publish Dataset button, and select Return to Author.

Note! In addition, the curator sends an email to the author specifying the necessary changes to be made before the dataset can be published. We recommend you to use the Curation Report Template (see the Kuratorrapportar channel in the DataverseNO-brukarforum Team). The author should also be referred to (the relevant sections in) the Deposit Guide (https://site.uit.no/dataverseno/deposit/) on the DataverseNO info page (https://info.dataverse.no). It is possible to provide links to specific sections in the Deposit Guide. To get the right link address, hover your mouse on the link icon at the beginning of the section in question, right-click it, and select "Copy Link Location".

You should also ask the author to click Submit for review once again after having made the necessary changes. The email to the author may be sent in two ways:

• When you are in the dataset in question, click the button with letter symbol, and write your message in the window that is popping up.
• When you are in the dataset in question, click Edit > Metadata, and copy the email address in the field Contact > Email and send the message in your email program (e.g. Outlook).

Note! If the curator identifies fundamental nonconformity with the DataverseNO policies and guidelines, and the depositor does not agree to make necessary changes the dataset must not be published. If the curator is in doubt whether the dataset complies with the DataverseNO policies and guidelines the issue should be discussed with the DataverseNO administrator team at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Contact the team at support@dataverse.no. Ultimately, the Board of DataverseNO is to decide on such matters.
