Minutes

• Follow up on data migration
  • no further need for discussion at the moment
• Documentation for Open Access app
  • Peter McCracken and Claudia Schwanhold volunteer to help Martin and Björn with documentation
  • working as OA working group
  • Björn to approach Documentation group for next steps
  • communication not possible via Slack in this case because of data privacy concerns; need other channel
• Implementers topics
  • when adding a new request I would like to add the journal information via the ISSN. With the ISSN the OA app could then get the standard name of the journal from the crossref API (e.g.: https://api.crossref.org/journals/2045-2322).
    • OS: better to use Agreements local KB to link journals to agreements
    • OS: other KB to consider
      • PMC: ulrichsweb.com
      • BM: maybe EZB
      • LB: Maybe https://mjl.clarivate.com/home ? Requires a login to view the profile pages, though
    • BO: should differentiate between article and journal KB integration
    • Marcus Putnings: offers support for Crossref integration for articles
    • need more discussion on how to implement best
    • Owen to provide some options and considerations; including ORCID integration; when should updates automatic or manual 
    • follow up needed
  • in case of Gold-OA-journals the OA app could display information like "found in DOAJ" or the mean APC values of the journal via the DOAJ API (e.g. https://doaj.org/api/v2/search/journals/issn:2045-2322). 
    • OS: updates in OA app from DOAJ on a regular basis possible
    • need more considerations
    • follow up needed
• Request from Christina Prell regarding field for actual bank paymenr amount
  • OS: planned approach for this is to introduce a new (optional) field for this
  • OS: needs changes to in-app Open-APC report
  • OS: not the ideal workflow for that but it's needed 
  • OS: also want to speak with Dennis (ACQ SIG) whether there are plans for Invoices to accomplish that
  • OS: to create Jira ticket for this
  • follow up with CP (not present today) to make sure that the approach meets the need
• CS: Are we going to implement Tags in OA?
  • the actual general implementation of Tags is not finished; no deleting and managing of Tags
  • we need to collect use cases and think about how to meet this use cases
• CS: Are we going to have Notes on OA?
  • maybe not just the notes application; some difficulties with that from Agreement experiences
  • notes are somewhat used to record information that don't fit in other fields; no good way of record structured information on tenant-need-level
  • we need to collect special use cases
  • maybe better to implement "supplementary properties" like in Agreements
