Publish dataset

Description

Publish/release Dataverse dataset

Usage

publish_dataset(
  dataset,
  minor = TRUE,
  key = Sys.getenv("DATAVERSE_KEY"),
  server = Sys.getenv("DATAVERSE_SERVER"),
  ...
)

Arguments

dataset	A character specifying a persistent identification ID for a dataset, for example "doi:10.70122/FK2/HXJVJU". Alternatively, an object of class “dataverse_dataset” obtained by dataverse_contents().
minor	A logical specifying whether the new release of the dataset is a “minor” release (TRUE, by default), resulting in a minor version increase (e.g., from 1.1 to 1.2). If FALSE, the dataset is given a “major” release (e.g., from 1.1 to 2.0).
key	A character string specifying a Dataverse server API key. If one is not specified, functions calling authenticated API endpoints will fail. Keys can be specified atomically or globally using Sys.setenv("DATAVERSE_KEY" = "examplekey").
server	A character string specifying a Dataverse server. Multiple Dataverse installations exist, with "dataverse.harvard.edu" being the most major. The server can be defined each time within a function, or it can be set as a default via an environment variable. To set a default, run Sys.setenv("DATAVERSE_SERVER" = "dataverse.harvard.edu") or add ⁠DATAVERSE_SERVER = "dataverse.harvard.edu⁠ in one's .Renviron file (usethis::edit_r_environ()), with the appropriate domain as its value.
...	Additional arguments passed to an HTTP request function, such as GET, POST, or DELETE.

Details

Use this function to “publish” (i.e., publicly release) a draft Dataverse dataset. This creates a publicly visible listing of the dataset, accessible by its DOI, with a numbered version. This action cannot be undone. There are no requirements for what constitutes a major or minor release, but a minor release might be used to update metadata (e.g., a new linked publication) or the addition of supplemental files. A major release is best used to reflect a substantial change to the dataset, such as would require a published erratum or a substantial change to data or code.

Value

A list.
