May 8, 2019: single field “person(s)”, “Open Access” and “APC” fields and new presentation in the metadata step

The following features will be added in production on Wednesday, May 8, 2019:

Single field “person(s)”

Entry in a single list of people instead of an entry in separate fields (author (s), translator (s), …):

It is possible to change the order by moving a line with a drag and drop.

Plan S – “Open Access” et “APC” fields

The fields “Open Access” and “APC” (publication fees), required by plan S, have been added in the entry:

The checkbox “Open Access” can be automatically checked when filling the form via a DOI or a PMID. However, the publication must have a DOI and the publication must be indicated as “Open Access” in Unpaywall.

We have considered all types of Open Access in this field:

Gold (immediately available to all under a CC licence in an OA journal)
Hybrid (immediately available to all under a CC licence in a subscription journal)
Green (embargoed accepted author version of the manuscript in SERVAL)
Bronze (published version free to read in the publisher’s webpage after an embargo period)

New presentation of the fields in the metadata step

The layout of the metadata page has been modified.

The interface is now much more compact because all types of authors can be entered in the same “person” field. The help text of a field can be accessed by clicking on its name.

The navigation buttons have been moved to the top of the page, and the different sections of the interface (mandatory or recommended/optional metadata) can be hidden/shown by clicking on their title.
