8 years ago By looking more precisely to my datas, some utf-8 "No-Break Space", aka \xa0, aka & nbsp, were present. So I purged them, and the error disappeared. I had a second error after that, an argument, optionnal for Dataverse, but mandatory for Datacite it seems: Response code: 400, [xml] xml error: cvc-minLength-valid: Value '' with length = '0' is not facet-valid with respect to minLength '1' for type '#AnonType_contributorNamecontributorcontributorsresource'.
Here, the contributorName is not part of the contributor field of a Dataset on Dataverse, but it concerns the dataset contact Name, that is optionnal for a dataset, but create an error if you use Datacite, because it's mandatory but not asked anywhere (except in the error message).
After adding a Name to my datasetContact field, I could finally properly Publish my imported Dataset :)
So to resume, there is 1 major problem, and 1 optionnal problem:
- Major : datasetContactName IS mandatory for Datacite publishing
- Optionnal : handle nbsp items entity in the xml sent to Datacite for publishing, or indicate an import problem, or even print in the dataset publishing error message ?

I added datasets in a Dataverse using Datacite for DOI's. Those datasets were added with python scripts, using the dataverse python api to first create a "simple" (only the required elements) dataset, then update its metadatas with a json (made by extracting datas from xlsx documents).
The problem here seems to come when I try to publish the dataset. The publish fails and there is the error message : "Error – This dataset may not be published because the DataCite Service is currently inaccessible. Please try again. Does the issue continue to persist? Please contact Dataverse Support for assistance. "
Logs are here :dataverse_event_published_error_log.txt
We can see a message : [xml] xml error: The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared.] So I tried to use the datacite api to try with "custom" xml files, and there was something: if I had a " " element, I receive the same error. When I remove it, everything is fine. I tried by adding an entity element (<!DOCTYPE space[ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]>), (it's a &# and 160 between the "") and the nbsp was replaced and everything worked like a charm. Except that it's by using the api. The problem here is that dataverse doesn't handle nbsp thing (coming from my imports maybe).
Here is a json example asked for doing test on a test server using datacite : json.txt
