The main difficulty I am having with this amazing database is to figure out how to get things current and correct errors as I see them. Some of them are duplications. Some are my own doing. Best method so far discovered is just to remove an entire entry and start fresh, but even that approach seems not transparent. I find that I can right click an entry, go to a whole new window, edit some details there (title, authors, etc.), even generate a DOI, and then "save" before closing. This seems to work fairly well but I could not find any instructions on it.... Perhaps someone will do a tutorial to help users of this self-archiving system.
John,
I am totally with you but the problem is the community assistants cannot figure out how the system works in the first place. For example, you are supposed to request them to prepare the duplicate entries for merging (by making them completely identical for the system) - however, currently, they are experiencing problems with merging the duplicates and nobody can figure out what's wrong with it and how to fix it. I suppose it's growing pains - just like with Microsoft Windows:)
They do provide the 'HELP' link as you click on the pull-down arrow next to your profile photo.
