How to Create a Data Publication

The Research Data JCU platform includes extensive help text (click on the ? icon) and prompts for each metadata field.

If you require any assistance completing your Data Publication, or need to arrange a peer review link and official email, please contact researchdata@jcu.edu.au.

To create a Data Publication:

• Remember that you must have a related Data Record to be able to create a Data Publication. Ensure your Data Record is updated as metadata from the Data Record will auto-fill your Data Publication.
• Log into Research Data JCU
• Use one of two methods to create a Data Record i.e.:
  • Directly from your Data Record
    • Click on Create a Data Publication from this record
  • Using the PUBLISH menu
    • Click CREATE DATA PUBLICATION, at this stage, you will be prompted to link the Data Publication to your Data Record.
• Click on each tab to complete and/or edit each metadata field.
• Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
