Prepare complete manuscript details

Use a clear research title that reflects the study topic and main contribution.
Write an abstract that summarizes purpose, method, findings, and relevance.
Include accurate keywords so repository searches can surface the work correctly.

Confirm authorship and metadata

List the lead author, co-authors, collaborators, and institution consistently.
Choose the correct department and research type before final submission.
Review publication dates and supporting metadata for accuracy and discoverability.

Upload review-ready files

Upload the finalized PDF version intended for repository review and publication.
Check formatting, citations, and naming before sending the file into workflow.
Keep an archived copy of the manuscript in case revisions are requested.

Why this matters for search and discovery

Well-structured titles, abstracts, keywords, and institutional metadata help the COC Breakthrough repository produce cleaner public pages for search engines and for readers.

Strong repository metadata also improves internal search, supports richer snippet generation, and makes it easier for Google to understand the site hierarchy behind possible sitelinks.
