Frequently Asked Questions

Introduction
This page gives a general overview on DataPLANT's data publication process. For more practical guides on each step, check out the sidebar or refer to the guide links in this document.
Data is usually the primary output of scientific research; in contrast, the universal measurement of research success is the publication. In the past, accessing the underlying data of a published research paper required the tedious process of contacting the original authors and asking for access.
ARCs are FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs). One of DataPLANTS main goal is facilitating the publication of ARCs as data publications.
This is achieved by a set of services and tools that are integrated into DataPLANT's DataHUB.
Data publication services and tools
Continuous Quality Control (CQC)
Note: All CQC pipelines are opt-in starting from July 10, 2024. If you used the DataHUB publication service before, head here to learn how to opt-in.
practical guide: passing cqc
Upon every commit to an ARC repository, PLANTdataHUB can perform automated quality control measures based on the committed changes. Form more information, have a look at Continuous Quality Control (CQC) pipelines & ARC validation.
ARChigator: the ARC submission service
practical guide: Submitting ARCs with ARChigator
ARChigator is a tool for submitting ARCs hosted on DataHUB for publication in the ARChive. Only ARCs that pass CQC are eligible for submission.
ARChigator also acts as a last-stop preview of record metadata. When submitting an ARC, ARChigator will display the metadata record that will be used for the data publication. This allows for a last manual check if the metadata is correct and complete before submitting the ARC.
Once submitted via ARCigator, ARCs are submitted as a request for publication (RFP) to the ARChive.
ARChive: The collection of published ARCs
Once an ARC is in RFP stage, emails are sent to the addresses registered in the ARCs metadata that contain a link to the ARCs publication status update page. RFPs are reviewed by the ARChive's editorial board, which might request changes to certain metadata entries to meet our quality criteria.
practical guide: Track your publication status
If the RFP is accepted, the ARC is published and a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is minted for the ARC via DataCite.
practical guide: Use your DOIs
