Queen's Dataverse Collection Data Deposit Guidelines

Submit for Review

Submitting your dataset for review will send an email to the RDM Team. We will look for a variety of items, including whether your data appears complete, if all the proper metadata has been added, and if appropriate documentation has been included. We will email you with suggested updates or changes, if required.

How your Dataset is Reviewed

  • A list of requirements to publish your dataset is available in: How we Review Data.
  • Datasets can only be deaccessioned after they've been published. Draft datasets can simply be deleted.
  • Once a dataset is created, Borealis assigns a DOI (i.e., a persistent identifier) to permanently identify it.

  • If you are self-submitting your dataset:

    • We aim to review your dataset within 2-3 business days.

    • You should expect to receive recommendations to improve the findability and reusability of your dataset (e.g., metadata and documentation).

  • If you are using mediated deposit:
    • We aim to send you confirmation within 2-3 business days, acknowledging receipts of the files. 
    • We will provide you with an estimate on when the dataset will be reviewed at this time.
