Description

User story

When submitting a preprint, I am prompted to create affiliations using ROR data.

Proposed solution

Amend the current preprint submission workflow to include manual affiliation entry as a step. Perhaps make it optional once we have ROR data coming through ORCiD more reliably. This would depend on how heavily Janeway repositories encourage people to log in with ORCiD.

Hook into the same or similar affiliation management views as for article affiliations, with a return URL back to the repository submission path.

Research direction

Start by tracing the preprint submission workflow and comparing it with the existing article affiliation management views. Confirm how ROR and ORCiD data currently enter the workflow, then define the manual affiliation step, its optional behavior, and the return URL back to repository submission; done means the flow supports manual entry without losing submission context.
