New field "statement_required" #960

Closed srerickson closed 3 years ago

Feature Request

Publishers often require the inclusion of a "set statement" when authors upload pre-publication versions of articles to institutional repositories (i.e., for new OA policy). Currently, the only way to include a set statement is to put it in the description, which may cause confusion in the long run. We should create a new field that is part of the work version's meta block.

Describe the solution you'd like

Any alternatives you've considered?

What does "done" look like?

Field name: publisher_statement Label: "Publisher Statement" Description: "If the original publisher requires a set statement to upload this work to ScholarSphere, include it here."

@srerickson How do you want the statement displayed? We could basically just tack it on to the end of the description, or give it another heading similar to the description and display it there.

@srerickson Also, do we want to allow markdown as we do in the description? I'm thinking no, but just thought I'd ask.

Something really simple like below, without any additional headings, and just some bold text:

I think this has the advantage of being more accessible because a screen reader doesn't read any additional headings.

@awead - showing the statement under the description is perfect. I don't even think we we need the bold label ("Publisher's Statement"). It might be useful to have markdown enabled but if it's complicated don't worry about.
