The University of Florida (UF) libraries and Elsevier are collaborating to widen access to articles authored or co-authored by UF authors and published by Elsevier. Both organizations are committed to supporting researcher success and believe working together will more effectively widen public access, improve compliance with current and future funder policies, and facilitate efficient and responsible sharing of scholarly journal articles through the university's institutional repository. This presentation will provide an overview and brief demonstration of how these services are becoming interoperable through a strategic alliance.
Smart linking from repository to publisher platform can help to: • Maximize Research Impact – citation metrics and alt metrics are used to assess the impact of research so it is essential that these data are aggregated and shared, which is easier if the data are not fragmented across platforms • Connect Researchers to the Best Available Version – dynamic ingest of publisher holdings information and metadata into university IR allows local management with delivery of the best (published) version, and also addresses the concern of some authors about reliance on a pre-publication manuscript for public access • Realize Cost Savings and Efficiency – this collaboration provides an alternative to, but does not preclude, self-archiving; facilitates better compliance, impact tracking and reporting; increases the visibility of and access to the scholarship of UF authors; and establishes a new, and valued, library service to the campus and beyond, with minimal initial investment and low ongoing costs • Ensure Reliability and Trustworthiness –access to errata and retraction information are ensured, maintaining article integrity

Publishing Makerspace is a project that seeks to engage collaboratively with publication workflows from the research design phase to final products. It employs an approach to publishing that reimagines and retools publishing models. We are developing a replicable workshop in which professionals with different skill sets collaborate on specific projects that explore scholarship both within and beyond the realm of traditional publishing. First forged in the 2014 Scholarly Communications Institute, this simple but radical approach to publishing responds to the multimodal scholarship that is being produced today. The approach integrates traditional books and articles within a larger publishing ecosystem that includes other outputs, such as archives of raw data, online community resources, digital artifacts, and alternative modes of presentation.
Today’s scholars are producing work in many forms, from blogs and articles to interactive maps and dataset visualizations; their work incorporates cultural heritage collections, photographs, sound, video, and physical and virtual exhibits. Publishing Makerspace embraces the work of digital librarians, archivists, experts in mapping and visualization, data miners, designers, editors, software developers, and others in a collaborative spirit. In this session, members of the Publishing Makerspace working group will describe the genesis of their idea, provide an update on its development in practice, and suggest some possibly new ways that librarians, publishers, vendors, and everyone who has a stake in scholarly communication can participate in creating a responsive, relevant, and robust future for scholarly publishing. Our aim is to stimulate ideas for the development of these collaborative relationships and innovative publishing formats.
