Title: Dataverse Depositor Checklist
Authors: Evering, Danica
Pratt, Isaac
Department: Library Science

Series/Report no.: McMaster Dataverse Curation Documentation;
Abstract: This checklist is intended to streamline pre-deposit work for submission in Dataverse. Sent to depositors, it supports them as a one-page "pre-flight" document in preparing for data deposit (documentation, sensitive data considerations, citations and credit, and file formats and organization). It also outlines considerations for depositing data - adding a license, making sure data are findable through thorough metadata, linked by researcher persistent identifiers, and more. This document augments our more comprehensive McMaster Dataverse Data Deposit Guidelines (https://rdm.mcmaster.ca/sites/default/files/2022-06-Data-Deposit-Guidelines-McMaster-Dataverse_0.pdf) and McMaster Dataverse Deposit Walkthrough (https://rdm.mcmaster.ca/sites/default/files/2022-06-McMaster-Dataverse-Deposit-Walkthrough.pdf) documents. Items marked with an asterisk * are mandatory for submissions.
