Dataverse Data Submission

Phenotypic data can be submitted in DMPortal, the Portuguese instance of Dataverse, a repository for all kinds of research data.

This guide will show you how to submit your data in DMPortal, before proceeding with the Submitting Metadata in PHENO section.

1. Start by signing in to DMPortal.

2. Select the Plant BioDataVerse

   

3. Click on Add Data ➡️ New Dataverse

   

4. Fill all the required fields to describe your new Dataverse. It is incentivized to use the same MIAPPE Investigation name for the Dataverse name.

5. Click on Create Dataverse

6. Within the new Dataverse, click on Add Data ➡️ New Dataset

   

7. Fill all the required fields to describe your new Dataset.

   

8. In the MIAPPE section, complete the fields in accordance with your MIAPPE template. Fill only the mandatory fields to avoid duplicate work.

   

9. Add data in the Files section by using one of the following methods:

   • Using the + Select Files to Add button

   • Using the Drag and drop files here box

   • Uploading your data with HTTP via your browser

Note

Optionally, you can also add your filled MIAPPE template in the Files section.

9. Scroll down and click on Save Dataset

10. After the Dataset is created, you can delete or add more files to it using the + Upload Files button. It is also possible to edit the Dataset metadata in the Metadata section.

Note

Multiple datasets can be added to the same Dataverse to accomodate for all your phenotypic data.

11. Finally, go to your Dataverse page and click on Publish to make your data public.

A pop-up will appear to confirm the action, since once a dataverse is made public, it can no longer be unpublished.

Please consult the Dataverse User Guide for additional information on how to use the platform.

With your data now stored in Dataverse, you can proceed with the Submitting Metadata in PHENO section.
