When I started working at the Peruvian National Council of Science, Technology and Technological Innovation (CONCYTEC, original Spanish-language acronym) [2], I was given the main task of assessing the platform where national researchers’ CVs are registered, which was called the National Directory of Researchers and Innovators. We did that in 2017 and we then planned a new project, the Peruvian Current Research Information System (PeruCRIS), of which wewill talk about more in detail later. In 2018, we noticed that our national repository, Open Access to Scientific Information for Innovation (ALICIA) [3], which harvests records from other repositories, had some issues, which led us to start some projects for improving the metadata from our researchers’, research and of some repositories; these projects are still ongoing. I also noticed that Peruvian journals had several challenges. CONCYTEC is Latindex’s collection center in Peru and it also manages the SciELO Peru website [4]. Well, it turned out that Peruvian journals lacked promotion and so I met with a group of journal editing and bibliometric analysis experts to tell them that I wanted to improve our scientific communication capabilities because I noticed some other issues that prevented us from going further. That was when we came up with the idea of organizing a large conference, which would serve as an inspiration to everyone who currently edits or wants to edit journals; for everyone who knows how to do it also to share detailed knowledge on the technical and academic issues involved in the production of scientific journals. Moreover, we also wanted to invite the main companies involved as stakeholders: scientific information providers and publishers. That is howwe came up with this idea of the Hatun Tinkuy conference, which we held in 2019 [5]. I must confess that I am not an expert; I graduated as a computer engineer. I have previously published in some journals while I was studying my doctorate program, but I have never edited one. Therefore, to call the professionals is what should be done. We gathered with a large group of people to define guest speakers and topics and some colleagues from the CONCYTEC and from other Peruvian institutions advised us about the topics to be covered by the speakers; I wanted for open science to have a prominent space on the agenda. I also wanted to see how Latindex was used in other countries and so we had guest speakers from Costa Rica and Chile to tell us about it. I also wanted to have topics such as how to edit a journal and how to detect plagiarism.

These services include the more traditional services of a research library as well as publishing NIST technical reports and The Journal of Research of NIST, and preserving and exhibiting scientific instruments and other artifacts. ISO has always prided itself on having a close relationship with its customers, providing a high level of service, and developing new services to stay in front of NIST researcher needs. Through a concerted, strategic effort since the late 1990s, ISO has developed and promoted relationships with its key customers through its Lab Liaison Program.\u0000\u0000\u0000DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH\u0000This paper discusses the relationship ISO has developed with the Office of Data and Informatics (ODI), how this relationship was forged, and how this collaboration will serve as a model for working with the other labs and programs at NIST.

However, digital libraries should provide more than advanced collection maintenance and retrieval services since the ultimate goal of any (academic) library is to serve the scholarly needs of its users. This paper begins by presenting a case for digital scholarship in which patrons perform all scholarly work electronically. A proposal is then made for patron-augmented digital libraries (PADLs), a class of digital libraries that supports the digital scholarship of its patrons. Finally, a prototype PADL (called Synchrony) providing access to video segments and associated textual transcripts is described. Synchrony allows patrons to search the library for artifacts, create annotations/original compositions, integrate these artifacts to form synchronized mixed text and video presentations and, after suitable review, publish these presentations into the digital library if desired. A study to evaluate the PADL concept and the usability of Synchrony is also discussed. The study revealed that participants were able to use Synchrony for the authoring and publishing of presentations and that attitudes toward PADLs were generally positive.","PeriodicalId":42447,"journal":{"name":"Digital Library Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2000-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75674715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
