- [Check Dataset Metadata Quality](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/publish-data/check-dataset-metadata-quality.md): Assessment Reports provide automated dataset metadata quality checks based on FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles.
- [Dataset and DOI Status Badges](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/publish-data/dataset-and-doi-status-badges.md): Data contributors can review dynamic dataset statuses on their dataset landing pages prior to and after publication. Login is required to view statuses.
- [Review Cycle and Criteria](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/publish-data/review-cycle-and-criteria.md): The ESS-DIVE Team reviews all datasets before publication to assess the quality of metadata and any reporting format files.
- [Metadata Requirements](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/publish-data/review-cycle-and-criteria/package-level-metadata.md): This page provides an overview of the minimum metadata required for publication on ESS-DIVE. These requirements are used by the ESS-DIVE team to review datasets before approval for publication.
- [Reporting Format Requirements](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/publish-data/review-cycle-and-criteria/reporting-format-requirements.md): This page provides an overview of the review process for datasets utilizing reporting formats.

- [Request Publication](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/publish-data/publish-your-dataset/request-publication.md): Request a publication review to make your dataset and DOI available to the public.
- [Reserve DOI Before Publication](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/publish-data/publish-your-dataset/reserve-doi-before-publication.md): Obtain a new DOI for your private dataset prior to publication. You can return at a later date to finalize your dataset and request a publication review to make your data and DOI publicly available.
- [Publish with Existing DOI](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/publish-data/publish-your-dataset/publish-with-existing-doi.md): Use a DOI that your data was previously published under and let ESS-DIVE know that you do not want a new DOI.
