The Dataverse Network Project

There are several guidelines to creating a study:

• You must create a study by performing steps in the specified order.
• You cannot edit the study after you submit it for review, unless you are a Curator or Dataverse Admin.
• If multiple users edit a study at one time, the first user to click Save assumes control of the file. Only that user's changes are effective.
• When you save the study, any changes that you make after that do not effect the study's citation.

The steps to creating a study are:

1. Enter Cataloging Information, including an abstract of the study.
   Set Terms of Use for the study in the Cataloging fields, if you choose.
2. Upload files associated with the study.
   Be sure to review the Study File Tips before you start to upload your files.
3. Set permissions to access the study, all of the study files, or some of the study files.
4. Delete your study if you choose, before you submit it for review.
5. Submit your study for review, to make it available to the public.
