The Team


Valuation

»Depositing in Open Access repositories is expensive, complicated and time-consuming»We proposed an open source, shared solution to

streamline the deposit of accepted outputs in OJS-based journals directly to repositories from the journal interface itself. »Open source and extensive, international base of OJS/PKP

journal community would ensure its sustainability.

Progress

»What we achieved

»Conducted a UX study of OJS users to understand better OJS user behaviour re: submission & depositing and how to improve journal management systems.»Developed a plug-in to allow authors to deposit

accepted Open Access articles and supplementary data in Figshare directly from OJS-based Journals.» Produced a UX evaluation of the plug-in and the

submission interface.5

Challenges and Progress

6

Although we’ve continued to have problems on the administrative side (now resolved, yay!), we’ve started pushing on and make some progress on the technology side including:

- Updating underlying tech to handle multiple repositories - Adding an Editor interface so that the editor can view and select which files should be

published alongside the paper - Completed the upload and response process for the Figshare API - and started this process for the dryad plugin - Undertaken an expert UX review - Started implementing recommended changes to the interface - Started adding interfaces for displaying published data alongside galleys

From Journal to Figshare

Next phase

»We’d like to request funding for next phase merging with the objectives of the Giving researchers credit for their data project (PI & Project Manager - Lucie Burgess/Neil Jefferies (Bodleian) – Implement expert UX review of interface– Fix issues with Figshare API with assistance from Figshare team– Demonstrate real paper(s) published using the workflow – Align metadata requirements– Expanding reach/integration according to Giving researchers credit for their data

objectives, including enabling workflow with SWORD modules for EPrints, Dspace, OSP.– Research Paper with findings and evaluation, qualitative data and project documents in

Figshare, open source code in github.

Funding

»Next phase is 4 months» Realistic funding required to cover for our side of the

development work and project management and research related incidentals £12,000.00»Cost of Investigator Time (FEC, Makri and Priego), L7.41

and L7.43, 10% of time.
