Hello MarianneMoore 

i prefer this 2 variants:

1) All curated documents are in one central library. Authors will be create documents in his own store (SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive) and will be upload it to this library (like your example)

2) All documents will be created and stored in the same library, with versioning, only authors can see the drafts (as add topic, you can create two different libraries with a publishing, as example also as PDF possible)

I will not recommend a central library with links, the permission will be a pain.

Hope this helps. 

Regards, Dave
