Call for review and expert participation: Proposal to create a NISO Recommended Practice to Operationalize Open Access Business Processes | Scholarly Communication Discussion Group (ACRL)

"The increasing adoption of OA policies and mandates has shifted strategy and business practices in libraries, scholarly publishing entities, and associated organizations. Meanwhile, the operationalization of financial transactions, compliance tracking with different policies, and related workflows has yet to be normalized. In the absence of established best practices there exists a sundry assortment of individualized solutions in libraries and publishers that rely heavily on publishers' workflows, systems, dashboards, invoices, and data. A number of organizations have defined local workflows to facilitate work but a shared recommendation would be of benefit to the entire community. This proposal is to support a working group that will develop a Recommended Practice on operationalizing OA business practices. As part of this effort the working group will conduct a landscape analysis on current OA business processes and take into consideration current gaps in the infrastructure and needed protocols for data exchange.   Please let me know if you are interested in reviewing the NISO proposal to provide comment. Also please let me know if you would like to nominate yourself or someone to participate on the Working Group (if the project is approved). A full copy of the proposal is available for review upon request. Feedback is requested by Friday, June 23, 2023."
