The Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication is seeking a new publisher (see the RFI for more information about financial support expectations).
Elsevier “train the trainer” sessions for Science Direct gold OA pilot delayed, but video demos should be available within the next few weeks.
Revisit capacity to support systemwide publishing initiatives
Kyle and Melissa
In addition to the climate change project and a CSU undergraduate journal, a contact in the Admissions Office at Fullerton has expressed interest in forming a committee to explore the potential for a CSU Press.
Updates on Scholarly Communications Committee work plan
Melissa
The draft work plan for 2020-2021 centers around four projects:
Faculty Profiles/ORCID
Digital Publishing (We discussed a CSU-wide McNair’s publication, but we decided to table this project at our August Publishing IG meeting. Should the focus be on our other goals for the year?)
Onboarding New Committee Members/Communicating What We Do
Creating a Framework to Support Open Access User and Workforce Education (This relates to the systemwide documentation for the Science Direct gold OA pilot, but it will be broader in scope.)
The scope of the Publishing IG was discussed in last week’s Scholarly Communications Committee, and it was suggested that we should consider how our work relates to the CSU Libraries Strategic Plan.
Update on LORDS (LibGuides Open Review Discussion Sessions)
Jaime
Author documentation project as a potential 2020-2021 goal
Kyle and Melissa
As previously discussed, we could work on author documentation specifically aimed at students, building on the work that Kyle has done at Humboldt.
