Re: [jats-list] Tagging user facility support - ORCID Working Group question

["Tommie Usdin btusdin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark b

I think <award-group award-type="facility-supportb> is the much more robust
approach. Not that the other would not work, but it opens the door to an
unlimited number of additional special-purpose tags.

Not long ago I had a conversation with someone trying to figure out how, in
JATS,  to acknowledge a gift of free access to a set of commercial data sets -
not quite the same as providing facilities, but not quite a grant of money. We
didnbt think of using <funding-group> with a descriptive @award-type, but
now that I see your example I will pass it on. This seems like a clear,
flexible, and extensible approach.

Department of Agency national labs that provide researchers with access to
user facilities run by the DOE. The goal is to try and better track the
publications that result from research conducted at these facilities. You can
learn more about this effort at https://orcid.org/about/community
<https://orcid.org/about/community>. One of the questions that has arisen in
our discussions is how might we best accomplish the tagging of this type of
support, which is distinct from direct monetary funding. Before submitting a
request for a change in JATS, the group has asked me to consult here.

Chuck from Crossref because we also have concerns about how this might work
when publishers deposit metadata using JATS.

tags that are more specific to research facilities and non-monetary group to
avoid the semantic confusion over the term "funding". For example, new (not
fully thought out) tags could be <research-facility-group>, <user-facility>,
and/or <facility-award>, etc.
