At the beginning of every new year, there are often changes in journals which may include additions, platform changes and cancellations. Though there are no cancellations this year, below are some changes for 2023.

Additions
The following titles are being added to our subscriptions because they meet our criteria for inclusion based on cost, usage, journal quality, and relevance.

• Childhood Obesity
• Clinical and Experimental Dermatology
• Journal of Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology

New Platforms
The following journal titles will now be available on different platforms. Often this occurs when the professional society that publishes the journal begins working with or switches to a different commercial publisher.

For the most current and complete access, please be sure to start your search for journals from our Website. Contact us at mclibrary-collections@duke.edu if you have questions or feedback, or if you're experiencing difficulties in accessing our collections.

COVID-19 changed and disrupted all of our lives beginning in March 2020 -- at Duke and around the world. Essential workers remained onsite at their jobs, and those who could work remotely did. Classes for students from pre-K to professional schools went online and all planned events were canceled or postponed. All the while we lived with the challenge of how this virus would affect ourselves, our loved ones, and the world around us. Nearly 3 years later, we are still collectively living through this historic time and processing the changes that have ensued. 

As part of our mission to preserve, maintain, document, and make available the permanent records of the Duke University Medical Center and Duke University Health System, the Duke University Medical Center Archives has been documenting what it is like to live through a pandemic. Though we have captured all of the news alerts, email updates, and Duke COVID-19 Websites, these materials only tell part of the story. In order to tell the full story, we want to be sure to capture the stories of students, staff, faculty, and other people who live, work, or study at Duke.  

In conjunction with Duke University Archives, we launched Your Story Matters! Documenting COVID-19 at Duke. The stories collected will be permanently preserved and made available for research in our "Documenting COVID-19 at Duke Health Collection."

If you are interested in sharing your story -- through writing, photographs, film, or other means -- please fill out this online form. Signing up does not obligate you to submit anything, now or in the future. It simply permits Archives staff to reach out to you periodically to let you know about options for submission, and you can opt out of receiving these notices at any time. The submission process includes options for keeping submissions anonymous where your contact information is known only to Medical Center Archives staff. Additionally, we recognize you may want time to reflect on your experiences so we will continue to collect stories on an ongoing basis.

Most importantly, please know that your stories matter and we want to hear them. Please contact us with any questions.

The Medical Library Association (MLA) has renamed one of its student scholarships for Beverly Murphy, Assistant Director, Communications and Web Content Management and Liaison to DUHS Hospital Nursing and Watts College of Nursing. Now known as the Beverly Murphy MLA Scholarship for Underrepresented Students, the scholarship offers up to $5,000 to a student from an underrepresented group who demonstrates "excellence in scholarship and potential for accomplishment in health sciences librarianship." This year's scholarship is being awarded to Jean Paul Ngezigihe from the University of Toronto, Ontario.

Beverly has worked at the Medical Center Library & Archives since 1983. She is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and has served as a mentor to countless librarians in the health sciences. She has a long and substantial record of professional service to MLA, including serving as the first African American President of MLA, the first African American Editor of MLA News, and the first African American recipient of the Marcia C. Noyes Award, MLA's highest honor recognizing a career that has resulted in lasting, outstanding contributions to medical librarianship.

Now that the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy is in effect, researchers are taking a closer look at their options for where to deposit their data once the research project is completed. Indeed, the new policy requires researchers to prospectively plan for where they will share their data when they apply for NIH funding.

If you work with human participant data and need a controlled access repository, Vivli may be a good option! This global clinical research data-sharing platform focuses on sharing anonymized individual participant-level data. It includes a controlled access data repository, search engine, and secure research environment. As one of seven generalist repositories in the NIH Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI), Vivli is part of the NIH data ecosystem. In addition, Duke University School of Medicine is an institutional member of Vivli, so there is no cost for Duke researchers to deposit their data.

Vivli currently has over 7,000 clinical trials including 21 studies from Duke. You can share data from completed trials, including phase I-IV interventional studies, and observational studies in Vivli. Datasets are assigned a DOI so they will be findable and citable. Those interested in using data in Vivli must submit a research proposal to request the data. Once approved and a data use agreement is signed, researchers will then be able to use the data free of charge.

If you have specific questions about using Vivli as a data repository for Duke research, please contact data-sharing@dm.duke.edu. For more information on data repositories in general, please contact medical-librarian@duke.edu or datamanagement@duke.edu.

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has released its annual Faculty Salary Report, but they are no longer making a print version available or offering an institutional subscription for libraries that would provide access for everyone at Duke. As a result, individuals will have to purchase their own electronic access.

What does this mean for you?

If you are looking for current salary data, you will need to purchase your own access to the AAMC Faculty Salary Report from the AAMC Store. The cost is $50 for AAMC members, and faculty, residents, fellows and staff at member institutions (Duke is a member). Faculty or staff may contact AAMCStore@aamc.org or call 202.828.0416 for sales support and member pricing.

What does the subscription include?

• Three years of compensation data
• Access to data from any device with Internet access
• Ability to view, download, and print each table
• Detailed data breakouts (such as compensation by gender and race/ethnicity).

The Library is exploring other sources for similar data. If you have questions, please contact medical-librarian@duke.edu

Duke University Medical Center Archives is happy to announce that the Root Causes Records, dating from 2017 to 2022, are open to researchers. The collection contains the group's administrative files documenting meetings, email communications, budget information, grant materials, public relations, education and outreach, event planning, articles of incorporation, and organizational structure.

Root Causes, a Duke led student group first organized in 2016, was created by health professionals with the mission to support sustainable and humane production of food in combination with access to healthy food. Through their efforts to serve, advocate, and educate, they aim to involve the Duke medical community in improving the health of their patients and community through a stronger local food system.

Programming for Root Causes includes:

• Fresh Produce Program
  Provides a food delivery system to serve low income patients in Durham.
• Healthy Harvest Program
  Addresses the intersection among gardening, fresh food, and health through engaging community members in gardening at the Serenity Community Garden. Miniature gardening kits and education materials to grow herbs and microgreens are provided.
• Healthy STEPS (Students-in-Training Exercise Partnership Service)
  Helps connect low income Duke patients with low cost, easily accessible physical activity programming within the Durham community to improve overall health.
• Wellnest: Housing Support Program
  Seeks to address the gap in “tenancy support” including the structural and social support needed to help ease the transition from homelessness.

Connect to the Root Causes Website to read more about the important and valuable work they do as well as find some tasty recipes.

Duke University Libraries and the Duke Medical Center Library & Archives have entered into a two-year publishing agreement with PLOS, a non-profit scientific Open Access publisher with global reach. This agreement provides authors affiliated with Duke University, Duke Health, and Duke Kunshan University with unlimited, no-fee publishing in all twelve PLOS journals. Coverage includes articles accepted between January 3, 2023 and December 31, 2024, with all published articles being immediately Open Access and free to read for everyone.

The PLOS agreement will expand publishing opportunities for all Duke authors by eliminating expensive Article-Processing-Charges (APC), which are usually paid by authors and range from $800 to $5,300 per article for PLOS journals. Duke researchers will immediately be able to make their scholarship freely accessible to the world, helping to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion for both authors and readers.

This is the third transformative open access agreement for the Medical Center Library & Archives demonstrating our commitment to supporting innovative, sustainable, and equitable scholarly publishing models. The other two agreements are with Cambridge University Press and the journals BMJ Case Reports and BMJ Open Quality.

Details for Duke Authors
 
Who is eligible to participate?  
Any corresponding author or contributing author affiliated with Duke University, Duke Health, and Duke Kunshan University is covered under this agreement. This includes faculty, staff, students, and residents.

How does the agreement work?  

• Beginning January 3, 2023, the PLOS agreement will provide Duke-affiliated corresponding authors with unlimited, no-fee publishing in all twelve PLOS journals.  
• While there are different business models for publication fees for PLOS journals, this agreement ensures that Duke corresponding authors will pay no fee for any article accepted by any PLOS journal.
• Though the author experience will vary slightly according to the three different business models for PLOS journals, this agreement will cover all publication fees regardless of the business model.The three models are:
  • PLOS Community Action Publishing (CAP) includes PLOS Medicine, PLOS Biology, and PLOS Sustainability and Transformation 
  • Flat Fees includes PLOS ONE, PLOS Genetics, PLOS Computational Biology, PLOS Pathogens, PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, and PLOS Digital Health 
  • PLOS Global Equity model includes PLOS Water, PLOS Climate, and PLOS Global Public Health

The NIH Public Access Policy mandates that all publications produced with NIH funds must have a PMCID within 90 days of acceptance and must be made available in PubMed Central within 1 year of publishing. This policy ensures that the public has timely access to the published results of NIH funded research, but is an extra step that researchers must perform upon the acceptance of the manuscripts. The Medical Center Library & Archives is committed to supporting researchers throughout the compliance process.

To this end, Library staff have built an automated email tool that updates researchers who are out of compliance with this policy. These emails come from "Duke NIH Public Access Compliance" (nihpublicaccesscompliance@dm.duke.edu) and include action items, resources, and contacts to help researchers become compliant as soon as possible. The emails are only sent to authors and PIs whose articles are out of compliance with the current NIH Public Access Policy. 

Library staff are continuing to work through some backlogged compliance issues. For more information about NIH PAP Compliance and how the Library can assist, please see our NIH Public Access Policy Guide or send an email to nihpublicaccesscompliance@dm.duke.edu.

One of Zotero's strengths is that it is uncomplicated to us, making collaborative projects, especially with people at other institutions, relatively simple via Google Docs. 

You will never have to worry about losing your library of citations because everything is backed up to the cloud. Syncing to the Web version of Zotero allows you to access your library from any computer with Internet access. If you run out of Zotero's free storage, additional storage can be purchased for only $20 a year. 

We offer regular classes for Zotero or you can watch one of our pre-recorded classes.  

More details about Zotero's different features, training, and tips for getting started, can be found in our Zotero Guide.
