Programatic/large-scale author input #333

Open ScottBGI opened 5 years ago

ScottBGI commented 5 years ago

A nice selling point/feature would be support for big consortia projects so they can upload authorship details/metadata for 10's-100's-1000's of authors rather than have to do it through a spreadsheet or wizard.

Zenodo allows users to upload via JSON (.zenodo.json) files:

This would also address the GitHub/CodeMeta functionality referenced in issue #248

the new submission wizard allows upload from a simple table (TSV) as part of issue #102 , so it probably not too hard to include parsing in other formats.

Cool. TSV is a good start but power users will eventually want to use JSON so would be good to add that to the development. Going forward with this and #248 you should look at how ManuBot tackles the authoring issue:
