Description
In 2016, the Florida State University Faculty Senate unanimously approved an institution-wide Open Access policy, granting the university a license to share accepted author manuscripts of scholarly articles non-commercially, and to be made publicly available in DigiNole, FSU’s institutional repository. Despite the unanimous acceptance of the policy, the published works to DigiNole submission ratio could be improved. To address this issue, the repository team designed and created a utility to locate and export citations from Web of Science, reducing the amount of time it would take to process the citation records and requires little participation from scholars to increase the amount of open content on the institutional repository. This workflow has been operational since May of 2017 and I am responsible for maintaining and facilitating the process. This presentation will address workflow sustainability, the process of gathering content, staffing requirements, rights regarding content sharing and storage, challenges and limitations of the workflow, faculty response, reproducibility, and the institution-wide OA policy.
