Dear colleagues,

The Next Generation Library Publishing project (NGLP) invites community
feedback on the draft release of the Values and Principles Framework and
Assessment Checklist
<https://commonplace.knowledgefutures.org/pub/5se1i1qy/release/2> tools
produced to assess and incentivize stronger alignment between publishing
tools, services, and platforms and the scholarly communities and publics
they ultimately serve. Pending public feedback, we plan to refine and issue
this tool in 2021 for broad use.

We invite feedback and engagement via the open access Commonplace
Publication (hosted on the PubPub platform).
<https://commonplace.knowledgefutures.org/pub/5se1i1qy/release/2>You can
access the framework and the checklist freely; you will need to set up an
account with Commonplace and PubPub in order to make comments directly in
the documents. You are also welcome to contact its lead author, Katherine
Skinner <[log in to unmask]>, by email to share comments or ideas. The
draft is open for public comment until September 30, 2020.

About the NGLP Project

The Next Generation Library Publishing project
<https://educopia.org/next-generation-library-publishing/> (led by Educopia
Institute, California Digital Library, and Stratos, in close collaboration
with COAR, LYRASIS, and Longleaf Services, and generously funded by Arcadia
<https://www.arcadiafund.org.uk/>), seeks to improve the publishing
pathways and choices available to authors, editors, and readers through
strengthening, integrating, and scaling up scholarly publishing
infrastructure to support library publishers. In addition to developing
interoperable publishing tools and workflows, our team is exploring how to
create community hosting models that align explicitly and demonstratively
with academic values.
