    A Bibliographic Scan of Digital Scholarly Communication Infrastructure
    (Educopia Institute, 2020-05) Lewis, David W.
    This bibliography scan covers a lot of ground. In it, I have attempted to capture relevant recent literature across the whole of the digital scholarly communications infrastructure. I have used that literature to identify significant projects and then document them with descriptions and basic information. Structurally, this review has three parts. In the first, I begin with a diagram showing the way the projects reviewed fit into the research workflow; then I cover a number of topics and functional areas related to digital scholarly communication. I make no attempt to be comprehensive, especially regarding the technical literature; rather, I have tried to identify major articles and reports, particularly those addressing the library community. The second part of this review is a list of projects or programs arranged by broad functional categories. The third part lists individual projects and the organizations—both commercial and nonprofit—that support them. I have identified 206 projects. Of these, 139 are nonprofit and 67 are commercial. There are 17 organizations that support multiple projects, and six of these—Artefactual Systems, Atypon/Wiley, Clarivate Analytics, Digital Science, Elsevier, and MDPI—are commercial. The remaining 11—Center for Open Science, Collaborative Knowledge Foundation (Coko), LYRASIS/DuraSpace, Educopia Institute, Internet Archive, JISC, OCLC, OpenAIRE, Open Access Button, Our Research (formerly Impactstory), and the Public Knowledge Project—are nonprofit.

    From Cultural Heritage to Research Innovations: Digital Scholarship Services for a Changing University
    (http://research.iupui.edu/events/researchday2013/documents/b4.pdf, 2013-04-05) Odell, Jere D.; Johnson, Jennifer; Coates, Heather L.
    Digital technologies are changing the character of research, scholarship and education. While some may see these changes as a threat to business as usual, others see opportunities to build stronger universities, healthier learning communities and more equitable access to knowledge and information. The Program of Digital Scholarship provides the tools and services to help the IUPUI community develop both innovative and proven projects supported by the University Library. The Program of Digital Scholarship provides the IUPUI community with a variety of services and tools for sharing and managing their digital scholarly assets including but not limited to: published articles, white papers, conference presentations, images, artifacts, reusable learning objects, theses and dissertations, historic texts, datasets, and multimedia files. By providing open access to digital resources, these services contribute to IUPUI’s success as an innovative, urban university. In this poster, we describe four use cases in which faculty or community groups have collaborated with the Program of Digital Scholarship to build and share 1) the cultural heritage of central Indiana, 2) published works of faculty and student scholarship, 3) journals published at IUPUI, and 4) data management plans for grant-funded research. In each case, the Program of Digital Scholarship improved the dissemination of education, research and culture while raising the standards for preservation, usability, and accessibility.

    Librarians Versus the Machine: Leveraging Faculty Relationships to Increase Open Access Participation
    (The International Institute of Knowledge Management, 2016-09-23) Maxson, Bronwen K.; Pike, Caitlin
    Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) wanted to determine how liaison librarian intervention affected faculty participation in an Open Access (OA) Policy as compared to generic communication by the Library’s Center for Digital Scholarship (CDS). Liaison guidance for the OA policy participation was piloted with promising results in the School of Nursing. Using the pilot as a model, a working group was formed to determine how liaison librarians should be involved in the new, faculty-adopted OA Policy. Based on the Harvard Model, the OA Policy followed an out-put style, meaning that scholarly output is included by default unless the author explicitly chooses not to contribute. Successful open access policy implementations at other universities show that author participation increases when library staff and faculty help to design and deploy the service. The charter group tested a workflow designed by the CDS, and offered guidance for refining this workflow and related OA services. During this trial period, faculty participation rates from the sample liaison group and the CDS were tracked and compared, which determined that librarian relationships with faculty members did result in higher participation rates.
