Template normalisation

[tupuni]

1 - Citation format The citation code should be : [Author][-][Publication date][-][Title item]

• The title item should be the journal abbreviation in capital letters
• If the dataset was published in a book, the title item should be one keyword picked from the book title / chapter title.
• While this might be inconsistent from one dataset manager to the other, managing citation codes should be a priority in curating dataset before final submission to Pofatu

2 - Pofatu ID The Pofatu unique ID should be : [citation code][ _ ][sample name]

3 - Method code The format is : [citation code][ ][A], [citation code][ ][B], [citation code][ _ ][C], etc.

• The method code is unique for each dataset, even if it is reported from another publication.
• The method code should be different when the samples were treated and analysed by different methods only. Which means that major and trace element data can theoretically be associated with the same method code. But different isotopic analysis in the same dataset can correspond to different method codes (see dataset Hermannetal-2017-JASR for eg)

I am currently updating each dataset in light of these new norms

[tupuni]

In order to improve and simplify the citation code, I would like to change it to: [Author: first author][-][Publication date: year][-][Title item]

The Author item should be the first author's name capitalized (e.g. "Weisler") and the Title item should be the journal abbreviation in uppercase, or a keyword from the book/chapter title in lowercase (e.g. "JPS" or "Tuamotu": e.g. 1 : Best, S.B., 1984. Lakeba: The prehistory of a Fijian island (PhD Thesis). University of Auckland. becomes "Best-1984-Lakeba" e.g. 2 : McAlister, A., Allen, M.S., 2017. Basalt geochemistry reveals high frequency of prehistoric tool exchange in low hierarchy Marquesas Islands (Polynesia). PLOS ONE 12, e0188207. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0188207 becomes "McAlister-2017-PLOSONE" e.g. 3 : Hermann, A., Sauzéat, L., Guillou, H., Maury, R.C., Chauvel, C., Liorzou, C., Conte, E., 2017. Combined geochemical and geochronological analyses of stone artefacts provide unambiguous evidence of intra- and inter-island interactions in Polynesia. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports 13, 75–87. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2017.03.024 becomes "Hermann-2017-JASR"

I updated and uploaded here a final (hopefully!) version of the submission template. And I am going through the datasets already uploaded to make the changes. Cheers!

Okay, I think this is a good idea to standardise the citation code. I will upload the new version of the template to github when you email it to me.

    I updated a final (hopefully!) version of the submission template but for some reason I can't upload it on to the GitHub repository. So Andrew, I will send it to you via e-mail so you can uploaded it (I think my internet is just to slow here).
    Cheers!

It's already there, I finally could upload it, along with several of the former datasets. It's laborious but I had some time in the plane (36h in the air..) I made sure that all citations are standardised, but feel free to have a second look. PS: We have internet at the house in Vila right now, so we can organise a skype call up to Thursday afternoon.

I've got the latest template now and am updating and checking the datasets I'm currently working on.

I think it is only two hours time difference between Port Vila and Auckland so we could have a skype call tomorrow. What is a good time for you?
