UC Library Session on California Digital Library's Adapted Version of Symplectic Elements

Description

Please mark your calendars for October 27th at 11AM Pacific – UC Library will host a Zoom session about California Digital Library's adapted version of Symplectic Elements, known as the UC publication management system (UCPMS). It’s useful for alerting UC authors of published articles eligible for uploading a manuscript version to eScholarship, in compliance with our Open Access policies.

Meeting ID: 912 1392 2114
Passcode: 119203
The focus will be the impending activation of new sets of campus stakeholders within the UCPMS. Up until today, the UCPMS only serves Senate Faculty; after Oct. 31st, it will also serve everyone else in your department. 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 oa@library.ucla.edu).
CDL has already incorporated, and will soon activate, non-faculty senate authors within the UCPMS. Recall that faculty senate authors already use UCPMS to upload their author accepted manuscripts to eScholarship, whereas "everyone else" (i.e. everyone subject to the Presidential OA Policy rather than Faculty Senate OA Policy) currently uses the interface on the escholarship.org website directly.
Well, the time (October 2022 – February 2023) has finally arrived for the non-faculty senate authors at UCLA to be added to UCPMS.
Whenever an author has a pending article within the range of the OA Policy, they’ll get an email asking them to verify that they wrote the found article(s).  Then, for those covered by the policy, they will be asked to deposit the author’s final version into eScholarship.
To be clear, 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.  We hope you can pass this message along to your constituents sometime this week, so they can be aware of this upcoming change.
Feel free to send any questions to oa@library.ucla.edu.
