NFAIS Best Practices for Journal Article Publishing

 

I am pleased to report that the NFAIS Best Practices for Journal Article
Publishing were approved by the NFAIS Assembly on February 13, 2009.
The final version can now be accessed at:
http://www.nfais.org/Best_Practices_Final_Public.pdf . 

 

The next step is to disseminate the document widely throughout the
Information Community  in order to generate discussion and get as much
additional input as possible.  A press release has been issued
(http://www.nfais.org/press/2009_Best_Practices_Article_by_Article.htm
), and we are in the process of sending copies of the Best Practices to
Library and Publisher associations such as the Association of Research
Libraries, STM, NISO, and others.  I hope that you will take the time
circulate this notice within your organization and to external contacts
who might be interested.

 

My sincere thanks to members of the Working Group who devoted much time
and energy in the development of the Best Practices and to all of you
who took the time to provide feedback on the original document.
Together we are ensuring that scholarly research will be accessible and
retrievable both now - and well into the future.
