Dataset and DOI Status Badges

Data contributors can review dynamic dataset statuses on their dataset landing pages prior to and after publication. Login is required to view statuses.

Every dataset on ESS-DIVE moves through various statuses during its lifecycle and the key statuses relevant to publication are represented with icons on the top right of dataset landing pages (Figure 1). From creating a new dataset to iterating on drafts and publication, the next steps on your publication management journey depend on the latest status of your dataset. ESS-DIVE status badges let you know exactly where you are in the publication process, so you can efficiently manage your datasets.

There are two primary status categories needed to plan your publication: Dataset status and DOI status.

Statuses can only be viewed by editors or managers of a dataset. Login is required to view the status badges. 💡 Learn more about Data Permissions

Dataset Statuses

The dataset status captures where a dataset is in the ESS-DIVE publication process (Table 1). Once a dataset is reviewed by ESS-DIVE and is published, the data and metadata will be accessible to the public through the ESS-DIVE data search page (https://data.ess-dive.lbl.gov/).

Icon	Label	Description
	Drafting	The dataset is in progress and has not yet been submitted for publication review.
	In Review	The dataset is finalized and currently in publication review. An ESS-DIVE reviewer will reach out with proposed changes via email. Learn more about ESS-DIVE reviews here: Review Cycle and Criteria
	Published	The dataset has been accepted for publication and is openly accessible on ESS-DIVE.

DOI Statuses

The DOI status captures the state of the DOI associated with the dataset (see Table 2). DOIs can be reserved before publication or assigned upon publication by ESS-DIVE using either a new or existing DOI.

While we encourage those who require a DOI before review or before publication to reserve one, it is important to clarify that the DOI will not direct to your dataset landing page until after the data has been reviewed and published.

Icon	Label	Description
	No DOI Added	No DOI is associated with the dataset. The dataset DOI can be set by publishing a dataset, providing an existing DOI, or reserving a DOI. Learn more here.
	Reserved	A DOI has been reserved for this dataset. This DOI will not function until the dataset has been reviewed and published by ESS-DIVE.
	Active	The dataset DOI is live and accessible to the public. Users can access the ESS-DIVE dataset landing page. ESS-DIVE manages this DOI and regularly updates your DOI record with OSTI.
	Non ESS-DIVE DOI	The DOI associated with this dataset is not managed by ESS-DIVE. This dataset was originally published with a DOI on another repository. The DOI is not managed by ESS-DIVE, therefore no status is available.
