New tool in RPS - automatic publication claiming

Most UCL researchers are used to the way Research Publications Service (RPS) searches external databases (like Scopus and Web of Science) to find publications that may belong to UCL authors, based on their search settings. By default, suggested publications are put in the pending publications list, where they can be manually reviewed and claimed (or rejected). Now, though, after a recent upgrade, RPS is even better at helping UCL authors record their publications.
The latest upgrade to RPS that introduced new tool that helps authors to identify their papers: auto-claiming. More than 2,000 authors at UCL already use their ORCID in RPS, but UCL’s Research Publications Service can now find and claim even more papers, using even more identifiers including e-mail address. When RPS can tell that a paper belongs to the author, it claims it automatically.
This new tool helps researchers to identify their papers and record them in RPS quickly, as it minimises number of publications that are sent to the pending list and need to be verified by authors. Now, all they need to do is to upload the final accepted manuscript for their research articles and conference proceedings, in compliance with the REF open access policy. Deposited manuscripts are then made openly available via UCL Discovery, UCL’s institutional repository (after a delay period, if publisher requires it).
Authors can set RPS to automatically claim or reject their publications, if they contain any of the following identifiers:
  • e-mail addresses
  • arXiv Author Identifier
  • com account
  • ORCID ID
  • Researcher ID
  • Scopus ID
  • SSRN Author ID
By default, the author’s UCL e-mail address is entered automatically, but other e-mail addresses used by researchers can be added.
Another very useful aspect of this new RPS feature is automated rejection of publications based on an identifier. When authors declare that certain identifier is not theirs, all publications that include that identifier will be automatically rejected and no longer be offered to the user for verification. This is particularly useful for authors with common names, and minimises the number of publications that are sent to the author’s pending publication list.
There is a guide explaining how to set up automated claiming available here, but if you have any questions about this or other aspects of RPS, please contact UCL Open Access Team at open-access@ucl.ac.uk

    Child Death Review Study

    This report has been published by the Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH). It is the first report of a national confidential enquiry specifically focussed on child deaths. There were six key findings: Key Finding 1: The feasibility of confidential enquiries in children: CEMACH recommended that it should prepare a strategy for the future development of the national confidential enquiry for child health in liaison with the National Patient Safety Agency, the Department of Health, the Department for Children, Schools and Families and other relevant bodies. Key Finding 2: Good practice: The CEMACH enquiry panels found many examples of high quality care and examples where, even with outstanding care, the child died Key Finding 3: The recognition of serious illness in children: CEMACH recommended (for paediatric care in hospitals) a standardised and rational monitoring system with imbedded early identification systems for children developing critical illness – an...

    Wellbeing rooms at GOS ICH

    Image
    For students and staff looking for a moment of calm from their studies or working day may be interested to know that last summer the EDI team introduced two new spaces to be the GOS ICH community. There are two wellbeing rooms, situated on the ground floor of the Philip Ullman Wing, where you can pray, meditate or reflect. It’s also a place for those who are looking for a calm space to take a bit of time out.  Room G0.1 is intended for multi-faith prayer and religious observance, and as a quiet space. Room G0.02 is a dedicated quiet space for wellbeing activities such as meditation, mindfulness practise, quiet reading, or for organised wellbeing activities (except on Fridays between 12:30pm and 2:30pm when it is reserved for prayer). To get to the rooms, cross the small bridge just outside Kennedy Lecture Theatre, and then go through the 2 sets of doors opposite Seminar Room 3 (which is just behind you), the rooms are on your left. To respect other users, please familiarise your...
