Add A Checkbox On Manuscript Admin Page To Indicate Whether It Is Pre-print Or Not

by ADMIN 83 views

Introduction

In the realm of manuscript management, accurately categorizing and tracking pre-print versions of manuscripts is crucial for researchers, curators, and administrators alike. To streamline this process, we propose adding a checkbox on the manuscript admin page to indicate whether a manuscript is a pre-print or not. This feature will enable curators to efficiently link pre-print versions of manuscripts to datasets, thereby enhancing the overall research experience.

User Story

As a curator, I want to be able to add pre-print manuscript links so that I can link a pre-print version of a manuscript to a dataset.

Acceptance Criteria

Given I have a pre-print link for a given manuscript to add to a GigaDB dataset,

  1. When I go to the admin page for Dataset Manuscripts,
  2. And I enter the identifier for the manuscript,
  3. And I tick the checkbox "This link is a pre-print",
  4. Then the manuscript is saved as a pre-print manuscript.

Benefits of the Feature

The addition of a checkbox to indicate pre-print manuscripts will have several benefits:

  • Improved accuracy: By providing a clear indication of pre-print status, curators can ensure that manuscripts are accurately categorized, reducing errors and inconsistencies.
  • Enhanced research experience: Researchers will be able to easily identify and access pre-print versions of manuscripts, facilitating their research and collaboration.
  • Streamlined workflow: The checkbox will simplify the process of linking pre-print manuscripts to datasets, saving time and effort for curators and administrators.
