Where do I run the script?

[oliviaguest]

In order to publish a new article (after acceptance), you'll need to have the article metadata file (YAML format) and the corresponding article (PDF format). 

Is best practice to take the YAML and PDF and drop them in the same directory as the Python scripts?

[rougier]

Yes, it makes the command line shorter to write but you're actually free to put them anywhere. But you'll have to run the sciprt from the "articles" directory because it will create a local archive of the paper (through some automatic github command).

[oliviaguest]

This should be clarified somewhere for people like me who have no idea, I guess. 😆

[rougier]

Yes, I realize the procedure needs more explanation. After you finished editing this one, I'll try to update explanation based on your feedback.

[oliviaguest]

I added this, but I am not sure how to clarify the rest since I am not sure I understand the rest enough, yet... Sorry! 42fb65e

[rougier]

Thanks. I'll try to update by next week based on your (bad) experience. Sorry for all the mess. Did you manage to publish the article finally ?

[oliviaguest]

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next... is the author meant to take over at some point?

[rougier]

You have to check the final PDF is ok (DOI, editors, replication (and not editorial)), lnks, etc. If it's fine, you can now publish it on Zeonodo using the script. Note that in cas of problem, you still have the option to edit it directly on Zenodo.

[oliviaguest]

A good thing would be to make very clear which bits the editor needs to do and which the authors and possibly send the authors a link to it (if we don't already?) so they can prep their end as soon as they can... would that be useful?

[rougier]

Yes. One question we had with @khinsen is whether the editor fills up the metadata and make a PR to author's repository or whether the author fills up metadata and rebuild the PDF. Since editor is more experienced, the first solution might be easier.

[oliviaguest]

Another thing is the situation I am in now where I cannot compile the PDF. Is this OK or does it just mean asking the authors to do too much back-and-forth and taking too long?

[oliviaguest]

Also a link to a fully working (toy?) example would be good for the YAML file. Maybe even for the whole article repo? So we can know what it should look like?

[oliviaguest]

I'm getting a bug (?):

Metadata is newer than PDF, probably PDF needs to be rebuild

Apart from the typo which I'll fix now, I don't think it's correct to have this blocking since I can't build the PDF from the Metadata in this case anyway...

[oliviaguest]

And now I get this issue — any ideas?

Maybe missing quote around the string or maybe you need to escape the : (→ \:)
