Intern:Publication types

This is an overview of publication types (data sets and collections), their dependencies on manuscripts and best practices of their use.

Important notes

 * Do not create any more collections because you or the user just want to have a single DOI for a paper. (*)
 * Relation “suppl. to (dependent)” is outdated and should not be used anymore.
 * Please use “supplement to” (independent), but only for those data that have been prepared for the sole purpose of writing a paper or thesis - there are in fact only a few cases where this applies! We will try to find a better solution with DataCite, crossref etc. for the future.
 * Collections with independent childs must be without login, because no data download possible.

Types of data publications
(*) Initially, this was best practice but in the meantime, it is not necessary any longer as technological settings have changed and our cultural change has now to follow. Journals like ESSD or Scientific Data have agreed that this is Best Practice. The paper reference can be attached to all data sets individually using the relation “related to” or “supplement to”. Several data sets can have the now relational type “suppl. to (dependent)” to the same paper. Thus grouping of data sets for one paper using a parent should only take place if there have similar identical content (e.g. CTD casts).

(**) Please do not start the child data set titles with the words “Table X” or “Fig.X” - if necessary put this information in brackets at the end. Technical solutions are in preparation for sorting the order of child data sets in the future.

(***) It is planned to implement a basket to download selected datasets as well as to create a corresponding citation list.
