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
