Temple University Libraries is available to assist you with complying with new federal public access policies. Below are some ways that you can prepare for these upcoming changes:
Reach out to the Research Data Services team for help with research data management, including best practices for managing files, documentation and metadata, storage, sharing, reproducibility, and preservation.
Develop a Data Management Plan (DMP) using the DMPTool as part of your project planning for your research. Most federally funded research grants already require DMPs and many more will in the coming months.
Start using persistent identifiers (PIDs), like ORCID, for your researcher identity. It is free to register for an ORCID iD, and, because Temple is an institutional member, you can do this using your TU credentials.
Retain copies of your research, including submitted manuscripts (pre-prints), accepted/peer-reviewed manuscripts (post-prints), tables, figures, and supplemental materials. Your publication agreement may allow you to deposit a version of your work (i.e., green open access) into Temple’s institutional repository, TUScholarShare.
Receive open access publishing support by applying for article processing charge (APC) funding via the Open Access Publishing Fund or receive APC waivers/discounts through TULUP’s participation in a number of open publishing initiatives.
