SF State’s Digital Scholarship Center will be hosting another virtual Black Lives Matter Wikipedia edit-a-thon open to all CSU library staff and faculty on February 19 from 3-4:30 pm. Please email Melissa and Matt if you’re interested in attending.
Increase Capacity for CSU-wide journal publishing
Melissa
Mark Stover contacted library deans individually, and we now have library publishing contacts for almost every campus.
Action items for this month:
Review Journal Publishing Guide and make updates, as needed. Also review Sac State’s manual.
Melissa will schedule a meeting with Mark, Matt, and Brian Hole from Ubiquity Press regarding potential support for faculty journals.

Open access documentation / Elsevier gold OA pilot
Melissa
Elsevier gold OA pilot
Thanks to Elsevier local administrators who emailed authors about retrospective OA option! Emily Chan also emailed all authors prior to the January 31 deadline, and as of February 2, 199 CSU authors have taken advantage of this pilot.
Elsevier indicated that we have approved 100% of APC waiver requests so far.
Recent questions (which Melissa will be adding to the Confluence page):
Are editorials covered under the agreement? No. The agreement only covers the following peer-reviewed works: case report; data; full length article; microarticle; original software publication; practice guidelines; protocols; review article; replication studies; short communication; short survey; video article.
What should corresponding authors enter for the affiliation of team/lab co-authors? If there is no affiliation information to add, corresponding authors can omit these co-authors from the author journey form. This will not affect what displays in Science Direct; Elsevier uses the information provided through the author journey for the sole purpose of determining eligibility for APC waiver programs.
Open access documentation: what information aside from APC waiver programs would be helpful for CSU authors? What information do you already provide to researchers on your campus?
