I'm not sure if this is the right place to bring this up, but while reviewing the Dataverse documentation (https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.4/user/), I noticed that some links are broken. The links under "Supported Metadata" in the Appendix section seem to be non-functional: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.4/user/appendix.html. For example, this link leads to a missing file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/13HP-jI_cwLDHBetn9UKTREPJ_F4iHdAvhjmlvmYdSSw/edit#gid=0 (Citation Metadata).
It looks like the files referenced in this section may have been deleted. Could someone from this group help resolve this issue? Thanks in advance!
Dieuwertje Bloemen (Dec 16 2024 at 10:44):Hi @Aina Jené , I had a quick look and the link has been deleted in the latest version: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/user/appendix.html. You can also view the entire model in the tsv in GitHub as linked on the page, the google sheet was the same thing, just in a google sheet. So, if you download the tsv and import in excel or google sheets, it should result in the same thing.
