Metadata preparation and DOI registration with Crossref
-------------------------------------------------------
+
+ These tasks must be performed by **Editorial Administrators**,
+ who have access to the Publication's editorial tools
+ by navigating to the Publication's page.
+
+
+Author listing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ If not all authors appear in the list presented at the top of the EdAdmin tools,
+ these should be added by following the ``Add a missing author`` link.
+
+ The search form can be used to find missing authors who might be
+ Registered Contributors. If found, a one-click process adds them.
+
+ You can otherwise create an UnregisteredAuthor object instance and link
+ it to the publication, by simply filling in the first and last name fields
+ and clicking on ``Add``.
+
+
+Preparation of the citations list
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ Follow the ``Create/update citation list metadata`` link.
+
+ In the text area, paste the entire list of bibitems from the paper's
+ final ``.tex`` file. Upon clicking on ``Submit``, all DOI entires
+ are extracted and formatted into XML metadata which is saved in the
+ database.
+
+ Citations with no valid DOI (*e.g.* arXiv preprints, books, etc)
+ do not appear in the metadata.
+
+
+Funding info
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ Following the ``Create/update funding info metadata`` link leads to a
+ page where the funding statement of the Publication's ``.tex`` file
+ (found either as a separate subsection or in the Acknowledgements)
+ can be pasted.
+
+
+Preparation of the metadata XML
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ Following the ``Create/update metadata XML`` link auto-generates a
+ full XML text field containing all the provided information,
+ properly formatted for the upcoming submission to Crossref.
+
+ Verify that the first author is indeed enclosed in a
+ ``<person_name sequence='first' contributor_role='author'>`` tag,
+ and that subsequent authors (enclosed in
+ ``<person_name sequence='additional' contributor_role='author'>`` tags)
+ appear in the order of the Publication's author list.
+
+ Once the metadata is set, clicking on ``Accept the metadata``
+ saves the metadata to the database and returns one to the Publication's
+ page.
+
+
+Metadata testing and deposit
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ At this stage, the metadata is ready for uploading to Crossref.
+ This occurs via a POST query to either the test or live Crossref server.
+
+ Clicking on ``Test metadata deposit`` immediately posts the metadata
+ to the test server, and takes you to a page where the server's
+ response headers are displayed. The server also sends a more detailed
+ response via email
+ (to ``admin@scipost.org``; if you do not have access to this mailbox,
+ ask SciPost Administration) with the success status.
+
+ Similarly, the actual deposit is immediately performed upon clicking on the
+ ``Deposit the metadata to Crossref``. The response headers are displayed,
+ and a detailed email response is sent by Crossref to ``admin@scipost.org``.
+
+
+ **This completes the publication process.**
