# Request Publication ## 1. Finalize Dataset Datasets must complete all required metadata fields and pass all required quality checks before they can be published on ESS-DIVE. Ensuring that your dataset has complete metadata **before** requesting publication will expedite the publication review process. :bulb:Learn more about [ESS-DIVE's Metadata Requirements](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/publish-data/review-cycle-and-criteria/package-level-metadata). ## 2. Open Manage Publication Window From your dataset landing page, use the **Manage Publication** :star: button on the right side of the screen below the title and header.

Figure 1: You can manage when and how to publish your dataset from your dataset landing page

This will open the “Manage Dataset” main panel. Click the **Start Publication Process** button.

Figure 2: There are two primary publication actions you can choose from. Select "Start publication process" to create a request for your dataset to be reviewed.

{% hint style="info" %} In the main panel, you can also see your [dataset status](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/dataset-and-doi-status-badges#dataset-statuses) and [DOI status](https://docs.ess-dive.lbl.gov/dataset-and-doi-status-badges#doi-statuses). {% endhint %} ## 3. Review and Commit to Agreements You will then be asked to **confirm that you’re ready to initiate the review process and make the dataset public** on ESS-DIVE and have reviewed the metadata assessment for any recommended improvements.

Figure 3: Before you submit a publication request, please read through the informational warnings and agreements

Publication Request Confirmation When you click **Request Publication**, you’ll be presented with a confirmation message that your dataset has been added to the review queue to be reviewed by an ESS-DIVE team member.

Approved & Published Once approved, your dataset will be assigned a new DOI and made public. Your dataset status will now change to **Published** with an **Active** DOI status (Figure 6). You will be notified via email that your dataset has been approved and published. {% hint style="info" %} If you **reserved a DOI before publication**: your dataset will continue to use the DOI that you initially reserved and will be made public at this time. Your dataset status will change to **Published** with an **Active** DOI status (Figure 6). If you **published with an existing DOI**: your dataset will be assigned with the existing DOI that you provided and will be made public at this time. Your dataset status will change to **Published** with a **Non ESS-DIVE DOI** DOI status (Figure 7). {% endhint %}
