What happens after you submit:

  2.  A curator will assign a draft DOI, begin the curation process, and contact you to let you know curation has begun

  4. Once the initial review occurs, the curator may get back to you with questions (within 5 business days)

  5. Once you and the curator have settled on changes to make the data FAIR, the curator will:

    • make sure the FAIR data is uploaded

    • make sure the FAIR readme is uploaded

    • update the metadata

    • make the DOI live

  6. You will receive a confirmation email that the submission has been published.
