Submission System

Overview
Dryad's submission system allows users to quickly and easily submit data packages. Key features include:


 * 1) Integration with journals -- allowing authors to automatically fill the Dryad forms with information from the journal's description of an article, and automatically notifying journal editors when a Dryad submission is completed.
 * 2) Minimal description requirements -- Dryad minimizes the amount of typing/clicking required by submitters. Descriptions are automatically propagated from the article description to descriptions for individual data files. Reasonable defaults are set for the various choices available.
 * 3) Integration with partner repositories -- allowing submitters to use Dryad information as a starting point for submitting content to another repository.

See also the journal-oriented Submission Integration page.
