Introduction
Translations exist for the metadata editor in various languages. You can see whether
your
language already exists in the language selection drop-down menu at the top right. However, the
form must be filled out in english. There is also
a switch for changing from light mode to dark mode for better contrast ratios.
Publication Year
The year in which the data were or will be made publicly available. If an embargo period was in
effect, use the date when the embargo period ended. In the case of datasets, 'release' means
making the data available to the research community on a specific date. If there is no standard
value for the year of
publication, use the date that would be preferred from a citation perspective.
Version
The version number or other identifier of the dataset. If your dataset is published for the first
time, this field can be left empty. If it has been updated, specify the version number here. The
suggested practice is to use a pair of major_version.minor_version to indicate changes
in the dataset. Major changes typically require registration of a new DOI. If unsure leave
blank.
