Status

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


 * questionable - author/PI are uncertain about the quality of the data; documentation is incomplete.
 * 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 - 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.
 * 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

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