Team Low Friction Submission

The mother of all problems

Self submission still requires too much manual effort Repositories stay empty

The Solution: Email DepositAssumption #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).
