Status

Following dataset status options are provided with different publication levels and consequences.


 * questionable (shown on landing page as: unpublished dataset) - author/PI are uncertain about the quality of the data; documentation is incomplete.
 * in review (shown on landing page as: in review) - data are not validated/proofread by the author/PI; password protection is set by default, registry status is not to be registered; alternatively, the data in the submitted version were proofread by the author, but the related manuscript is still in peer review and the data may change. This status allows to update the data set, publish the data set and register the DOI or delete the data set (for example if the manuscript is rejected).
 * validated (shown on landing page as: unpublished dataset) - if certified by author/PI; password protected by default (login flag checked); registry status not to be registered
 * 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.

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