Frequently Asked Questions

πŸ“€ I have data I would like to upload. How can I submit my data and metadata to CanWIN?

Please follow the steps on our Data Publication primer.

πŸ›  I have been given permissions to manage my pages on CanWIN. How do I go about uploading data?

With page management permissions, you can upload datasets directly. See Managing Your Own CanWIN Data.

πŸ“„ How do I request a DOI for my data?

DOIs can be requested during the submission process. Select "Request DOI" when publishing your dataset, and our team will review and assign a DOI once approved. If your dataset or project is already on CanWIN, email a data curator and a DOI will be requested for you.

πŸ”’ What are licenses and which one should I use?

Licenses define how others can use your data. We recommend Creative Commons licenses for most datasets. See Choosing a License
