Feature Request: Dataset Download Receipt

Overview of the Feature Request

• As a Dataset Downloader, I would like to receive a receipt for the dataset I have downloaded that includes dataset information (e.g., title, author, DOI, license) and download date and time.

What kind of user is the feature intended for?

(Example users roles: API User, Curator, Depositor, Guest, Superuser, Sysadmin)

• Dataset Downloaders

What inspired the request?

• A Harvard-affiliated faculty member requested a dataset download receipt to document their secondary data reuse and to share with the funder of their research project.

What existing behavior do you want changed?

• At present, dataset downloaders do not receive any

Any brand new behavior do you want to add to Dataverse?

• Upon downloading a dataset, Dataset Downloaders would have the option to request an electronic receipt
  of their transaction (e.g., in ASCII, PDF, or some other electronic format).

Any open or closed issues related to this feature request?

• None that I could find.

Start by tracing the existing dataset download flow and the user-facing download behavior described in this issue. Clarify the receipt format, request flow, included metadata, timestamp, and delivery method before implementation. Done means dataset downloaders can optionally request a receipt containing the agreed dataset information and download date and time.
