Dataverse 4.0 Beta: Database Drop By End of This Week (Friday August 15)

[Eleni Castro]

Important Announcement: Database Drop Needed For Next Round of New Features 

As previously mentioned on our Data Science blog and our Dataverse 4.0 Beta instance, since Beta is only a testing / sandbox environment, please note that by the end of this week (by Friday August 15) our next round of feature additions will require us to drop the database, which will in effect remove most of the dataverses, datasets, and files that are currently in Beta.  

To upload real data and receive a formal data citation, please use our production Dataverse website:thedata.harvard.edu. Also, only datasets that have no restrictions and are non-identifiable data can be uploaded to Beta.

Thank you for your understanding.
