[IPT] error in metadata - citation

[Dimitri Brosens]

Hi Rui,

I think I had the same problem... This might be a workaround, try to
publish the data first (privately) and by miracle the issue of the citation
was fixed.
For me, the error was that I only had a blink screen when navigating to the
citations section..

Chrs,
Dimi
