Tips for the Knowledge Pool 10

To assist with common issues you may encounter while working with the [knowledge pooling tool]({{% ref "/references/services/knowledge-pooling/" %}}), and more specifically with its web UI, we have compiled some tips and common errors related to the pool.

Tips

  • It is highly recommended to use the knowledge pool's web UI with a desktop browser; the form offers rich contextual information that is hard to access on mobile devices.
  • Submitting records will only be possible using a [valid access token]({{% ref "/start/accounts/generate-token/" %}}); the token can be entered by navigating to "Settings" (gear icon) and then pasting your token in the "TOKENS" tab.
  • When editing records, you can hover your mouse pointer over field labels to display help text describing expected values and controlled vocabularies.
  • For some fields (e.g., journal name when filling out a Publication record), one or more choices have to be selected. The selector offers type-ahead search of choices. When searching:
    • Try entering full names instead of abbreviations.
    • If an item is not found in one language, try searching its English version.
    • Some items might also be searchable by a persistent identifier (e.g., ORCID, DOI, ISSN).
    • Wait a few seconds for choices to populate before creating a new record; search results may take time to load.
  • Submitting metadata involves two different actions: local saves and submitting to the server. Note that saving only stores information in the local browser session; you must submit your changes (using the cloud icon in the top-right corner) to make your records visible to consortium workflows.

Common errors

  • Authorization issues: If the [access token]({{% ref "/start/accounts/generate-token/" %}}) you are providing is incorrect or does not have appropriate permissions, the interface may display one or more of the following errors during metadata retrieval or submission:

  • Incomplete information: If a metadata record is missing required information, you will not be able to save it. Required fields - highlighted with a red asterisk - and an warning sign will alert you to this.
  • Internal errors: If there is an unexpected error during metadata submission, the submission interface will report technical information. Please [contact the Q02 project team]({{% ref "/support/" %}}) and copy the entire error message.
