PRIORITY: Philosophical Transactions B: Special Issue -- Collections pilot

[jleighherzog]

First, apologies for the priority request on this one. Due: Monday, August 21

After discussion with Ryan, the best way to accomplish reserving a DOI for the dataset landing page of this special collection might be to create a "one-off page" and transfer it to a regular dataset page at a later date. However, if there's time to create a dataset landing page, here are some of the layout requests. If we can preview it, let me know!

Section C: Abstract

The IPCC underscores that climate change adaptation—by which decision-makers usually mean change in response to or anticipation of climate change—must be a priority now. Decision-makers, including scientists and policymakers, urge “entirely new practices” and “transformative change,” yet have very little data on whether these new practices actually reduce the risks communities face, even over the short term. Risk reduction is key to biological adaptation, including cultural adaptation, and humans have long used cultural adaptations to respond to climate change—including everything from migration to crop diversification to creating infrastructure.

The contributors to this special issue in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences are ecology-minded scientists working at the intersection of climate change and culture, and we already know a lot about what has worked, and what has not worked, for humans past and present; however, this research has largely not reached the scientists and policymakers who are in the position to make policy decisions and to direct funding. Climate change adaptation needs a science of culture, and we need to reach decision-makers now, before priorities are set without sufficient information about how humans actually adapt to climate change.

Here, we offer a portal for those curious, showcasing our existing understanding of cultural adaptation to climate change. The data span millennia and geographic scales, from the individual level to the country level, and include everything from hunting data to archaeological data to emissions data. These datasets include:

Each record contains details that walk users through the data, facilitating further analysis and discovery. For questions about a given dataset and its use, users can reach the authors through the email address provided on that record.

Section D: Data files Bypass requirement for data files? A list of datasets that are part of the collection will be linked in the Related Works section.

Section E: Related Works Will list all DOIs of datasets that are part of the collection.

Section F: Keywords climate change, adaptation, climate, culture, cultural evolution, climate change adaptation

DOI reserved: 10.5061/dryad.bnzs7h4h4 Special collection will go live: September 18 (2023)

[ryscher]

We agreed that this will be a pilot for the concept of introducing more general "collections" into Dryad. As such, we will introduce a new type of InternalDatum that can hold the collection relationships. We will also likely need to add a "type" indicator to the Identifier objects, so they can be handled in a different way than the standard objects.

[ahamelers]

Looking at our model, it seems like we should make a (secret) option to create a resource with StashDatacite::ResourceType 'collection' for these (instead of our default of 'dataset'). We can make additional changes based on that type selection:

• [x] Create a resource find_or_create screen that does not show or allow the file upload and new readme screens
• [x] Require no payment/make other changes to the review page
• [x] Create a landing page display that lists the associated datasets with title & other info, in the main content, instead of as DOIS on the right

For now, can we limit creation of these to curators or superusers, publish immediately, and exclude them from curation?

Considering this course, I want to back away from the internalData on each associated dataset idea, and go back to having the user listing all the datasets as related works on the collection—just because I think it would be less annoying, when adding things to the collection, to have to modify the one resource, rather then each resource to add.

Thoughts?

[ryscher]

Some thoughts:

• Is there any type indicator on the Identifier object? It would be useful to have a method to determine its type.
• It's fine to use the related works. At the database level, it will be extremely similar to a version that would use internal data. I assume we would use DataCite's hasPart relationship type.
• We shouldn't spend a lot of effort on customizing the submission system for these objects. It's fine to make a superuser submission option that allows bypassing requirements (as requested in #1959), but let's keep it relatively simple.

@jleighherzog Here's what I've got a collection landing page looking like

[jleighherzog]

This page needs a few updates prior to launch.

@ryscher @ahamelers 1) Remove Ryan as author and owner 2) It's preferred that there's no email address listed

@bryanmgee: Datasets need to be added to the Abstract section. I assume in a format like this:

Title: Authors: DOI:

Or maybe just the citations? What do you think? Do we need to be the owners so that we can add datasets to the metadata or are they all ready to go?

[ryscher]

1. Any curator can edit/version the collection and update the metadata, as if it's a normal dataset.
2. Who should be the owner? (I propose Jess, since she has been coordinating this.)
3. The collections are set up so the datasets will automatically be listed if you add them as Related works with type dataset.

[jleighherzog]

Ok, 1-3 sounds good.
