Request for publication (RFP)

Once the validation against the invenio package passes (indicated by a green badge), one can proceed with the Request for Publication (RFP) of the ARC. The request is submitted via the ARChigator interface, which is accessible through the DataHUB.

Check the ARC publication record

1. Click on the badge to open the ARChigator dashboard.

   Note

   You can only proceed to the ARChigator dashboard if you are logged in to DataHUB.

2. You are redirected to the ARChigator dashboard and receive an email about a new personal access token.

   Note

   The token is automatically generated to communicate with the ARChigator interface and is valid for 16 hrs. Hence you receive another email about token expiration after 16 hrs.

3. In the ARChigator dashboard, you can review the ARC metadata and data of the publication record that will be created in the ARChive:

   

   The ARChigator dashboard summarizes what will be shown in the ARC publication record:

   • A project overview including the ARC source URL, creation date, and the ARC identifier
   • Selected investigation metadata from the ARC, including title, description, and contacts (i.e. authors)
   • A preview of the file and folder structure of the ARC, that can be navigated to check all data and metadata files
