Thanks for sharing about what UCB is doing for the Presidential OA Policy notification plan, Tim! I'm getting ready to put together a blog post for UCSF newsletters as well, so your post will come in handy and I will probably borrow heavily from yours 🙂.

UCSF's rollout plan and documentation can be found on our wiki, https://wiki.library.ucsf.edu/x/P-vlI.

The total number of people at UCSF matching the relevant job codes that Alainna identified comes to 17,666. Adding that number of new users in a short amount of time makes me nervous, considering what the workload might be to support all these new users. Alainna is helping me to identify groups that make sense to have logins in the system but to not enable for searches and email notifications, for example, administrative assistants. I also decided to not enable volunteer clinical professors, who number about 3,000 at UCSF.

Best,
Anneliese

Hi SCCKG:

I know some of you have already rolled out your Presidential Open Access Policy notifications plan at your campuses (or are in the midst of it now).

Rachael and I just wanted to share what we're doing at Berkeley, in case it's helpful to others. We're sending the info along to this list since I think there's a lot of overlap on the SCCKG and those who are responsible for the rollouts of the Presidential OA Policy.

Basically, you can see below that we've:

  1.  Drafted a blog post (see the text at the bottom of this email) that explains what the changes are, who they'll affect on campus, and how people can get help if they need it. It'll be published soon.
  2.  We already previewed the text with our selector librarians, so they have a heads up, especially in relation to supporting their respective departments/units.
  3.  We're hosting a 1-hour drop-in session with selector librarians in the next few weeks to see if they have any questions/concerns.

Cheers,
Tim + Rachael

Dear Selectors,

Please mark your calendars for May 12 at 10 a.m. for a Zoom drop-in session<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/2219605964?pwd=YVJVRXo2REYyMVRrQ2dCWk8wQzlxQT09__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqXyzFuwl$> about California Digital Library's incorporation of new sets of campus stakeholders into the publication management system (Symplectic Elements) for uploading OA manuscripts to eScholarship. The inclusion of additional stakeholders does not mean that you need to do anything else or new, but simply that you may get questions from your constituents (which you can feel free to forward to us).

In brief: As Tim has advised over the past year, CDL will soon be adding non-faculty senate authors to the Symplectic publication management system. Recall that faculty senate authors already use the Symplectic system to upload their author accepted manuscripts to eScholarship, whereas "everyone else" (i.e. everyone subject to the Presidential OA Policy<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/scholarly-publishing/uc-open-access-policies-background/presidential/__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqVPHpzrU$> rather than Faculty Senate OA Policy<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/scholarly-publishing/uc-open-access-policies-background/systemwide-senate/__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqZ2fEjTa$>) currently uses the interface on the escholarship.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://escholarship.org/__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0Dqe_ee8Y9$> website directly.

Well, the time (6/22 - 9/22) has finally arrived for the non-faculty senate authors to be added to Symplectic. Later this week, we will post the below announcement to the Library blog and engage in additional outreach (based on what other UC campuses have done and according to CDL's recommendations).

We'd like to hold open office hours for you, though (May 12 at 10 a.m. for a Zoom drop-in session<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/2219605964?pwd=YVJVRXo2REYyMVRrQ2dCWk8wQzlxQT09__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqXyzFuwl$>) to answer any questions you may have not covered below. Again, you don't need to provide any additional support. We just want to make sure you know this is happening in case your constituents reach out to you with questions.

Thanks,
Rachael & Tim

Changes ahead for sharing open access articles on eScholarship

If you are a University of California academic author who is employed at the UC but not part of the Faculty Senate, you will soon have a new way<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pub-idp2-prd.cdlib.org/elemDS/?entityID=https*3A*2F*2Foapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu*2Fshibboleth&return=https*3A*2F*2Foapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu*2FShibboleth.sso*2FLogin*3FSAMLDS*3D1*26target*3Dss*253Amem*253A9a40f3d4b912bedbcb9208baee5b0b668bfa75288610735cd6c9ff62ac8c5f95__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUl!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0Dqe8tUCUr$> to post copies of scholarly articles you’ve written into eScholarship.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://escholarship.org__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqZYE0Iqr$>, the UC’s open access repository.



This blog post answers questions and provides assistance to those authors affected by this change.

What is happening?

There will be a procedural change to how certain UC authors upload copies of their scholarly articles to the UC’s institutional repository to make these articles available “open access.”



Publishing scholarship “open access<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/scholarly-communication/open-access-publishing/what-is-open-access__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqYTq5B9Z$>” means making it available to be read online by anyone at no cost to the reader. Within the UC, there are many ways to publish “open access”<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/scholarly-communication/publish-open-access-uc-berkeley__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0Dqe0LAFD2$>, including by “depositing” or uploading a copy of your “author accepted manuscript” into the UC’s institutional repository. Author accepted manuscripts (or AAMs) are the final textual version of your article without publisher formatting and final copy edits.



What’s happening now are changes to how some of you may be doing the uploading of AAMs to eScholarship. Some UC Berkeley scholars (i.e. faculty senate authors) already use a special software system for the uploading process, whereas other scholars (i.e. anyone else employed within the UC who creates academic scholarship) instead upload AAMs directly to escholarship.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://escholarship.org__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqZYE0Iqr$> through the eScholarship website. Soon, everyone (that is both faculty and all other employees who create scholarly works) will begin using the special software system for uploading.



The software system is called UC’s Publication Management System<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu/__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqUkZ_Xo1$>. In addition to streamlining how you undertake the uploading of your AAMs, the software also proactively searches published literature for articles that it thinks you authored and should deposit. If the system identifies an article that it thinks you’ve published, you will receive an e-mail notification (on a bi-monthly basis) requesting that you upload your AAMs through the Publication Management System platform.



So, nothing is changing for you if you’re a faculty author who already has access to and uses the Publication Management System. But for all other academic authors within the University of California, you’re soon going to get a new way<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqRDswcBm$> to deposit your AAMs to eScholarship, and will receive periodic e-mails letting you know when to do it.

Why is this happening?

The University of California has two open access policies<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/for-authors/open-access-policy/__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqRasXmxY$> addressing the deposit of AAMs into the eScholarship repository. One such policy pertains to Academic Senate faculty<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/scholarly-publishing/uc-open-access-policies-background/systemwide-senate/__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqZ2fEjTa$> and has been in place since 2013. The other, called the Presidential Open Access Policy<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/scholarly-publishing/uc-open-access-policies-background/presidential/__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqVPHpzrU$> (because it was issued by the UC President in 2015), covers non-faculty authors. Specifically, the Presidential Open Access Policy includes non-senate researchers, lecturers, post-doctoral scholars, administrative staff, librarians, and graduate student employees.



California Digital Library<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cdlib.org/__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqZZvTnsl$>, which oversees and manages the eScholarship repository, had already added everyone covered by the Academic Senate open access policy to the UC Publication Management System, making it easier for Academic Senate faculty to get their articles into eScholarship..



To date, however, authors covered by the Presidential Open Access Policy have only been able to upload their articles directly via the eScholarship website, and have not yet had access to the facilitation software. California Digital Library is now adding these “Presidential” policy authors to the Publication Management System, too.

Who is affected?

Scholarly authors who are employed by the UC and who are not part of the Faculty Senate.



Faculty Senate authors already use the UC Publication Management System software to upload their articles to eScholarship. Soon, non-Faculty Senate authors will also begin using the software to make their uploads, rather than uploading their AAMs directly via the eScholarship.org website.

How does the software work?

UC’s Publication Management System software searches multiple publication databases (such as Scopus, Web of Science, and others) to automatically locate scholarly articles written by UC authors, and sends them a periodic e-mail alert (about twice a month) to review the publications identified under their name, and upload a policy-compliant version of the article. The UC's Open Access Policies grants covered authors the right to share their author accepted manuscript (the final, peer-reviewed, but not yet publisher-formatted version) immediately upon publication in a journal.



In addition to using the Publication Management System to claim and upload open access versions of articles, authors can also integrate scholarly profiles (such as ORCID<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://orcid.org/__;!!LQC6Cpwp!ohNNnfxuJOwbrzVrWx5V5KyeriPw7c4xwVudUOMUOnfJkszahTkJ8LoC7GdrT37yfiw638Uxwd544NUADz0DqdfiWgTO$>), generate individual publishing reports, and get up-to-date statistics on the work they’ve authored while at the UC.

When is this happening?

The California Digital Library is rolling out the change over the course of a few months. This means that after the date outlined below, affected authors will begin to claim and upload their articles using the Publication Management System, and they’ll be notified via e-mail when there is an action they need to take.



If you are a non-Faculty Senate author in one of the following departments or units, you can expect California Digital Library to add you to the Publication Management System according to the following schedule:
