You can make an investigation version open access so that the general public can use it in CSSI DCC.
- Preview the investigation, as described in Previewing an Investigation.
If you are satisfied with the content of this version, click Request Open Access. The Request Open Access dialog box appears.
If the data in your file is subject to an embargo, which is a period during which access is not allowed, enter the date when that embargo should be released.
In the Comments field, describe this version of the investigation and provide any other comments you want to associate with this open access request.
Click Submit. An administrator processes your request. When that administrator has approved your request, the system sends you an email notification with "CSSI DCC Portal Request Approved" as the subject line. You can also confirm the open access state of your file by checking the following indicators on the Upload ISA Archives page:
The value of the Open Access Version field should equal the number of the version you intended to make open access.
The Open Access Status field should be Current Version, Open Access approved on <date and timestamp>.
If another version of this investigation had been made open access previously, the system automatically removes it from open access.
