Package Research Datasets and Manuscript Files Into a Submission-Ready ZIP
Journal submissions and data repository deposits often require a single ZIP containing the manuscript, figures, datasets, and supplementary materials. Deliteful assembles that package in one step without requiring local compression tools or command-line access.
Academic researchers preparing a submission frequently juggle files across multiple software environments — manuscript in DOCX, figures as PNG or PDF, datasets as CSV or XLSX, and supplementary text as TXT or PDF. Gathering these into a submission-ready ZIP by hand is tedious and prone to accidental omission. A missed supplementary file can delay peer review.
Deliteful accepts DOCX, PDF, PNG, JPG, CSV, XLSX, TXT, and JSON in a single batch — covering the full range of common research file types. Up to 50 files or 2GB per batch is supported, which accommodates most single-paper submission packages. Original filenames are preserved, maintaining the filename conventions required by many journals and repositories.
How it works
- 1
Assemble your submission files
Upload the manuscript, all figures, datasets, and supplementary files for the submission in one batch.
- 2
Name the archive by manuscript or submission ID
Use a name matching the journal's convention, e.g., 'Smith2024_SubmissionPackage.zip', for easy tracking.
- 3
Download and upload to the journal system
Submit the ZIP directly to the journal's manuscript management system or data repository.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I include CSV datasets and figure PNGs in the same submission ZIP?
- Yes. Deliteful accepts CSV, PNG, PDF, DOCX, XLSX, TXT, and other formats in a single batch, making mixed research file sets straightforward to bundle.
- Are filenames preserved for journal submission requirements?
- Yes. Files are stored inside the ZIP using their exact original names, which is important for journals that require specific figure or dataset naming conventions.
- What is the file size limit for a research submission ZIP?
- Up to 50 files or 2GB total per batch. Most single-paper submission packages — including large datasets — fall within this range.
- Is this tool appropriate for data repository deposits like Zenodo or OSF?
- Deliteful creates a standard ZIP archive. Whether the resulting ZIP meets a specific repository's ingest requirements depends on that repository's submission guidelines.
