Auto-populate DOI field for newly deposited datasets

[carakey]

Descriptive summary

The DOI Plugin's main benefit, in practice, was that it would auto-populate the DOI so depositors knew what their DOI would be once the dataset was approved and could copy it for whatever purpose. The plugin was creating other problems, so I requested it be removed (#2686). Since DataCite DOIs follow a standard pattern, Research Data Services would like to have the assigned DOI be auto-populated directly by ScholarsArchive when someone first deposits a dataset.

Details

• The pattern for DataCite DOIs is https://doi.org/10.7267/{pid}.
• This feature is only available on Datasets.
• When the depositor is creating their Dataset record, they would select one of three options:
  1. "Automatically assign a DOI for this dataset." --> Will create a DOI value with the pattern above plus the PID that is generated when the record is saved.
     • Include help text: "Your DOI will be available after you submit. While this DOI won't change, it will not be active until the dataset is approved."
  2. "This dataset has an existing DOI." --> The depositor enters a DOI in the text field.
  3. "Decline DOI: This dataset will not be assigned a DOI." --> No value for the field.
• If possible, ideally the above options would only be available when first submitting a dataset. Subsequently when editing, the DOI field would appear as normal.
  • Either way, curators/admins must be able to edit or delete the DOI after the record has been initially saved.
• If automatically assigning a DOI, the deposit notification email includes the DOI.
• This feature DOES NOT interact with DataCite (curators will create DataCite records manually).
