Through a grant from the National Science Foundation, Johns Hopkins University is developing a packaging specification and set of recommendations that will support simultaneous submission of articles (and perhaps eventually data) into multiple federal funding agency repositories and institutional repositories. The adoption of this packaging specification will reduce the burden for researchers, institutions, and federal funding agencies. The recommendations and specifications represent an important component of open infrastructure that will foster benefits such as inter-institutional and agency efficiencies for grants management and analytics for assessing research productivity and collaboration. Johns Hopkins University hosted a workshop in December 2019 that convened participants from Arizona State University, California Digital Library, Duke, Harvard, Michigan, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Notre Dame along with representatives from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and the Office of Scientific and Technical Information. The outcomes of this work bolster the prospects for developing integrations between third-party applications such as the Public Access Submission System (PASS) and federal funding agency repositories and the adoption of persistent IDs such as DOIs or ORCiDs. The presentation will focus on the outcomes of the workshop and the draft specification and set of recommendations.
