Description

Overview of the Feature Request

Possibility of exporting a dataset metadata in a format for NCBI's Genbank/SRA

What kind of user is the feature intended for?
(Example users roles: API User, Curator, Depositor, Guest, Superuser, Sysadmin)

This feature is intended for Depositors

What inspired the request?

It is dificult to convince NGS data owners to deposit their data in dataverses, since they always have to deposit in NCBI in order to publish, this feature would eliminate the need to fill metadata twice, and facilitate the whole process

What existing behavior do you want changed?

A button to export metadata, or even a button to directly open a ncbi submission page with the metadate pre-filled from an existing dataset.

Review NCBI GenBank/SRA submission metadata requirements and Dataverse’s existing dataset export flows. Determine whether the scope is a metadata file export, a prefilled submission page, or both, and define the required field mapping and completion criteria.
