Private Sharing for Peer Review Process

You can generate a private URL for sharing your unpublished data. This is useful when sharing your data with peer-reviewers while keeping your research outputs private. This protects your intellectual property. A private URL can only be generated if your dataset has NOT yet been published or contains any unpublished changes.

Steps for creating a private URL:

1. Login and go to your dataset page. To locate the page of your dataset, follow steps here.
    
2. On your dataset page, select Edit Dataset > Private URL.
   
    
3. Select Create Private URL to generate a URL.
   
    
4. A private URL will be generated for sharing. You can also come back to this option to disable the private URL anytime.
