3. The Solution: Email Deposit
Assumption #1
we have reliable author identification: ORCID or institution staff registry
Assumption #2
we retrieve relatively good metadata in 3rd party sources: Pubmed,
Arxiv, Crossref, Mendeley, ScienceDirect ...
Feature #1
After ingesting metadata automatically into a new workspace item, an
email goes out to the identified author to ask for the file
Feature #2
After automatic processing, the attached file gets added to the
submission and the item can go into workflow (or straight into the
repo).
