Status

Six status options are provided with different publication levels and consequences.


 * 1) questionable - author/PI are uncertain about the quality of the data; documentation is incomplete.
 * 2) not validated - data are not validated/proofread by the author/PI; password protection is set by default, registry status is not to be registered.
 * 3) validated - if certified by author/PI; password protected by default (login flag checked); registry status not to be registered
 * 4) published - valid and public available data set; citation inlcudes a DOI (4 weeks after final editing); login flag is unchecked by default, but can still be set individually on request by the PI/author.
 * 5) supplementary data - indicates that this data set is a supplement to a scientific publication and thus might appear on the splash page of the paper on the publishers catalog. Example
 * 6) published & citable - Data publication through PANGAEA in its function as a publisher; citation with DOI is added to the catalog of TIB and are distributed through various catalogs, search engines and portals. This status should only be set by an editor.

The registration status of a data set depends on its status and time.
