NISO Convenes Working Group on Journal Article Versions
NISO (National Information Standards Organization) Voting Members approved a new work item that updates the organization’s Recommended Practice on journal article versions (JAV). A NISO Working Group is getting set up and will begin work in early 2021.NISO notes, “The NISO JAV working group will define a set of terms for each of the different versions of content [e.g., preprints versus final versions] that are published, as well as a recommendation for whether separate DOIs should be assigned to them. They will address questions such as: Should there be a single DOI for an article, regardless of version? Different DOIs for each version? How are the identifiers connected and used? How do we define a version? As with all NISO output, the group’s draft recommendations will be shared for public comment before publication.” For more information, read the press release.
