No previous versions of this metadata record exist (eg for earlier versions of the data, if so update that record rather than creating a new one)
Data Identification
Dataset title:
No version information in the title
Frontloaded (with the most important information first)
Include the geographical region the data apply to
Short – aim for 60 characters including spaces
Does not include acronyms – put these in the keywords
Does not include the word “dataset”
Time series datasets should include “time series” at the end of the title
Abstract
Abbreviations have been expanded upon at first mention
Abstract describes how, when, what, where, why of data collection and is limited to no more than 500 words
DOI
A DOI has been drafted for this record
DOI has been updated via the form after review and changes to record
DOI has been manually edited on datacite fabrica
DOI status has been changed from Draft to Findable

ROR and ORCID(s) are included and linked properly where applicable
For datasets where DFO is a partner, ensure 'parent' ROR is added (https://ror.org/02qa1x782). DFO 'child' organizations (i.e. CHS) and their ROR are optional.
Include Hakai Institute as Publisher and include data@hakai.org as email
Make sure email address is provided if the role is 'Metadata Custodian' or 'Point of Contact'
Add contact affiliation where known including ROR
If resource is (partially) generated by Hakai researchers, include 'Tula Foundation' (with associated ROR) with 'Funder' role. Be sure to uncheck 'include in citation' for Tula Foundation.
Resources
Resource links go to specific dataset download (not generic platform like waterproperties.ca)
Readme, changelog, data dictionary, protocols included in data-package (for tabular text based data)
An archive folder, or other means, for older data versions is included in the data package if the version is not 1.0
Links work
All files in the data package can be opened and are not corrupt
No executable files in the data package. Files should be open formats and standards (.csv, .txt for example)
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
This record points to the same resource as the 'Material_thickness' record, and also has the same authors associated with it. Are the two resources related, should they be linked in a single metadata record?
If they need to be separated, consider the following comments for this data record:
Start:
Consider being more descriptive in the dataset title, include information on what, where and when.
Resource Identification:
Consider what project this record is part of -- likely 'Watersheds', maybe also 'ACO'?
Consider adding version element (1.0) to this record, even if you do not anticipate incrementally versioning this record. However, there is a 'revised' date (2022-04-25) so I just want to confirm that this data has not previously been published (and therefore would perhaps need a different version element)?
Consider adding ROR for Paul Sanborn, I believe his affiliation is the University of Northern British Columbia?
Change the email associated with Ministry of Forests - currently includes a personal email, better to include general email. The personal email is already included in the individual metadata.
Add 'Hakai Institute' with role 'Publisher'
If work was funded by Hakai Institute/Tula Foundation, as Tula Foundation with role 'Funder', without including the Tula Foundation in the recommended citation.
Data and Documentation:
Realizing this resource is included in the data package - you could also reference this documentation/sampling protocol under "Related Works".
Is the Dropbox folder a personal or institutional? Will the data be preserved here long-term?
Personally, I do not find the SMU_data_dictionary.csv file very informative; what do the abbreviations in the Description column refer to?
