CHORUS Forum: Improving Scholarly Publishing Metadata

When metadata is omitted or incorrectly entered during a scholarly publishing workflow it can have serious consequences for the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of that item. Transmitting incorrect metadata to others through publication or other means can impact the larger ecosystem. Transformative agreements as well as many other systems and reports are dependent on accurate metadata. Speakers and participants of this CHORUS Forum will address how funders, research administrators, librarians and publishers can work together to improve scholarly publishing metadata.

2022 ISMTE Workshop - Integrating Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) Principles in Your Workplace will open for registration.

The goal of “Embracing and advancing inclusion in chemistry” requires the contributions and efforts of all ACS volunteer leaders, authors, editors, reviewers, and staff. The Office of DEIR serves as a central hub, providing resources and tools to integrate our core values into ACS products, programs, services, and processes. An excellent example of this integration is with ACS Publications. Scholarly publishers play a critical role as facilitators of the peer review and publishing processes, and ACS Publications is committed to advancing DEIR in all aspects of the publishing process.
