Re: [EP-tech] Question about "request a copy" option in eprints

Hi Angeliki,


I had a quick look at what I assume is the repository in question (edata.bham.ac.uk) and specifically at:


https://edata.bham.ac.uk/705/


This seems to meet your criteria of having open access documents/files.  I cannot see a "Request a copy" button on this page but I can see a "Copy" button that looks to copy the citation for the item to your local clipboard (like Ctrl+C when the citation is highlighted).  Specifically in this case:


Clark, Janine (2021) Research data supporting 'A comparative study of resilience in survivors of conflict-related sexual violence: New directions for transitional justice'.


I can see how there is potential for confusion between two buttons that both include the word "Copy" but maybe I am not looking at a suitable example, where this is happening.  The default behaviour for "Request a copy" usually requires 3 elements:


1. The item has attached documents (often data files in the case of research data repositories).


2. Those documents/files are not public.


3. The contact email address for the item is set with a valid email address.


It is possible that if you are see "Request a copy" on items that have unrestricted documents/files, the second of these requirements has been removed, most likely by accident.


Regards


David Newman

Hello all,


I noticed lately in our data repository that the data files under the selected Access option: Open, appear with the "Request a copy" indication set up by default. Given that the selected access is "Open", that request should not be the case - it makes sense for restricted or closed but not for open. 

Could you please help with this query? Any thoughts or comments will be  very much appreciated.


Many thanks,

Angeliki
