Peer Review Validation: A Helpful Process for Tracking Scholarly Activity
After successful and ongoing use of Providence Digital Commons as a system-wide research repository, an ask from research administrators determined a new repository goal: tracking peer reviewed publications. In early 2021, administrators in our system research department requested a way to track existing and future peer reviewed publications captured on our institutional repository. Library staff formulated a plan to run reports collecting publications on the repository, cross-comparing titles against databases and searching publisher sites to confirm peer review status. Library staff organized information into cumulative and monthly reporting documents. Gathering information about peer reviewed versus non-peer reviewed publications took substantial staff time to complete. After the initial list was completed, it was unveiled to research administration and well-received as a form of tracking and validating scholarly output on the repository. While this project is live, it remains in its early stages. In the future, library staff hopes to refine the work flow it created.

The Opened Door: Building Author Engagement through Tailored Information Sessions and Developing an Author Toolkit
Obtaining institutional commitment and “buy-in” for a repository based at an academic health sciences institution has significant rewards for the institution and its authors. Achieving this, however, can be challenging given the professional and academic demands of the institution’s authors, ranging from students to clinicians. Building author buy-in and commitment starts with engagement. In this lightning talk, the Digital Archivist of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) will discuss MUSC’s strategies for building its engagement with its authors, including offering departmental information sessions and developing its author toolkit, and the relationships across the university that have resulted from its efforts to garner increased buy-in for its institutional repository, MEDICA@MUSC.

Dashboard Confessional: Moving Behind-the-Scenes Metrics to the Spotlight
Now in its fourth year as an institutional repository, Henry Ford Health’s Scholarly Commons has hit its stride, gaining more internal and external readers than ever before. This spring I created and executed a marketing campaign to showcase to Henry Ford Health medical education and hospital leadership the tools in Scholarly Commons that are available to track scholarly activity and promote their research. A primary focus is the repository dashboard, a behind-the-scenes look at usage metrics on a specific department's authors and their works. In this lightning talk I will share my campaign strategy, the tools I used to create promotional materials, tips for vying for attention of busy physicians, and the results of this promotional effort.

Showcasing Archives-Inspired Undergraduate Student Artwork in Digital Commons Exhibits
Last year, Taylor University commemorated its 175th anniversary, and academic departments were encouraged to incorporate aspects of Taylor history into their course content where applicable. A first-time collaboration between the Archives and Art departments resulted in a multifaceted experience where students designed a work of art based on historical research using IR digital heritage collections. The artwork was exhibited on campus near the Archives and through a Digital Commons Exhibit.

Bringing Open Access Peer-Reviewed Journals to the Community and Beyond: Using DigitalCommons@TMC As Example
Open Access Journals through its novel initiative is committed to bring forth genuine and reliable scientific contributions to the relevant community. DigitalCommons@TMC currently has 8 open-access, peer-reviewed journals in various medical disciplines, with the first one, Family Preservation Journal started in 1995, and the most recent, Journal of Shock and Hemodynamics launched this past summer. With a a LibGuide, "DigitalCommons@TMC Start Guide" and collaboration with faculty and staff with supporting institutions, this is a platform to encourage faculty/staff/student publication, share research for the community and beyond.
