I’ve pulled [documents] into my research folder because the departmental archivist wants one clean file for my [paper] due [deadline=Friday]. I’m afraid I’ll misorder something or leave metadata that betrays anonymized respondents. Diagnose whether I should prioritize a single merged [pdf] now or preserve separate files with a linking table, say what I cannot cross (ethics or provenance), and give the safest step I can finish today so the archivist doesn’t reject the deposit.
