Data curation is the process of checking submissions for prohibited information (such as PII), ensuring that files are not corrupt, and verifying that metadata meet basic standards. In the data curation process, we may make minor edits to keywords for standardization or update titles or descriptions to spell out acronyms or initialisms. We do not make major changes to your submission without contacting you.
Your dataset will be curated in 1‒2 business days after submission. If your dataset is DOE-funded and submitted to OSTI, the OSTI ID and digital object identifier (DOI) will be returned in 1-2 additional business days. If the Data Catalog team have any questions, they will reach out to the contact for the record directly before completing curation.
