This is great to see! I'm hoping these governors also consider roles for their state universities, including the university libraries-- especially their #nstitutionalRepositories and #LibraryPublishing efforts. #DiamondOA #ScholCom

The expansion of the library publishing community over the past decade has increased the need for research and scholarship to inform best practices and demonstrate impact. Every two years, the Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) gives an annual Award for Outstanding Scholarship in Library Publishing to acknowledge impactful contributions to this growing body of work and to encourage its development. As the LPC’s Research Committee, we are delighted to announce that this year’s award recipients are Jessica Kirschner, Hillary Miller, Preeti Kamat, Jose Alcaine, Sergio Chaparro, and Nina Exner for their article, “To Open or Not to Open: An Exploration of Faculty Decisions to Publish Open-Access Articles” (_Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication_). The article explores the factors influencing faculty decisions to publish in closed- or open-access formats, ultimately demonstrating the significance of the tenure and promotion process in their decision-making. Their survey data provides compelling evidence that library publishers throughout the community can use in advocating for policy changes to promote open access at their institutions. The authors will receive a cash award of $500 and complimentary registration to the 2025 and 2026 Library Publishing Forums. The Research Committee would like to acknowledge two additional outstanding contributions to scholarship on library publishing with honorable mentions. Emma Molls and Kate McCready’s “The Open Monograph Distribution and Acquisitions Gap: A Look at TOME Titles” (_Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication_) examines the discoverability of and access to monographs published through the TOME initiative to make informed recommendations to libraries for developing and refining management strategies. Jessica Lange and Sarah Severson’s “Organizational Structures and Relationships in Canadian, Noncommercial Journals: Supporting Scholar-Led Publishing” (_College & Research Libraries_) draws on the examples of fifteen Canadian non-profit journals to examine how organizational structures and relationships with external partners bear on daily operations and long-term sustainability. Please join us in congratulating all these authors on their valuable contributions to our field! **LPC Research Committee** Karen Bjork Matthew Goldberg Matt Hunter John Morgenstern Talia Perry Mai Yamamoto * * * * LPC Blog * LPC News

It's so astonishing to me that this "mistake" keeps happening over and over. #DiamondOA is a globally used model and is certainly growing in the U.S. UC's own #LibraryPublishing program, escholarship.org, is a great example with 90+ journals and we are not the only ones!

Leveraging LLMs in Library Publishing: JATS XML Encoding with ChatGPT Introduction: Reliable and lightweight conversions of Microsoft Word documents to HTML have long eluded library publishers. We demonstrate how off-the-shelf large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT offer a lean pathway forward for generating JATS XML, which current platforms are equipped to render into user-friendly HTML publications. Methods: With careful prompting, ChatGPT can turn a plain text typescript into valid JATS. Leveraging a one- and few-shot approach for the <front> part of an XML file ensures that boilerplate data included in example(s) prompts the LLM to populate the correct data in its output. In <body> and <back/references> parts, zero-shot prompts with only the name and version of our JATS specification produce valid XML in ChatGPT 4.0. Results: One- and few-shot prompting proved effective in directing ChatGPT 3.5 to consistently encode discrete, sequential sections of article typescripts. In retesting with ChatGPT 4.0, zero-shot approaches demonstrated that <body> and <back/references> parts need only the JATS specification name and version to convert typescript into valid XML. The <front> parts still benefit from a one- and few-shot approach. Discussion: The primary bottleneck is token or source size limitations. Content must be broken up into separate sections for input and the output manually “stitched” together to form a complete XML file. Conclusion: LLMs may offer a solution for publishers without the resources to encode JATS files by other means. As LLMs increase in scale, we expect workflows for encoding research articles in JATS to become even more accurate, with fewer restrictions on capacity.
