Introduction

COAR Notify is a technology for enabling the "bi-directional linking between peer review services, overlay journals and repositories". It uses "well-established W3C technologies/standards" including "linked data notifications and activity streams". For more information about COAR Notify please see: https://coar-repositories.org/what-we-do/notify/

Use Cases

COAR Notify has been implemented in EPrints with two main uses cases in mind.

Peer Community In (PCI)

A collection of academic communities that self-organise peer review processes. COAR Notify enables EPrints repositories to communicate with PCI communities, facilitating a process for the peer review of preprint eprint records, allowing the repository to request reviews and handle rejections or endorsements.

For more information about PCI, please see https://peercommunityin.org/

For more information about PCI in EPrints, please see COAR Notify: PCI

Inter-Repository Linking

This use case implements COAR Notify to enable repositories to announce relationships to items held within another repository. For example, where an institution may have a publications repository and a separate research data repository, items within the two can be linked using Notify's linked data notifications.

For more information, please see COAR Notify: Repository Linking

Implementation

COAR Notify has been integrated into EPrints through changes to the core EPrints code base as well as ingredients (for EPrints 3.4+) and Bazaar plugins (for EPrints 3.3). An overview of the changes are presented below...

Signposting

A pre-requisite for COAR Notify. Signposting has been implemented in EPrints 3.3 and 3.4.

To enable Signposting in your repository you need the following changes https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4/pull/387

This is a minor change which introduces Typed Links to the HTTP response headers. These direct services to links where more information can be found about the resource usng a specified format, supporting COAR Notify's "pass by reference" approach to communication.

For more information about Signposting in EPrints, please see Signposting

For more information about Signposting, please see https://signposting.org/

COAR Notify

The COAR Notify integration is available as either an ingredient or Bazaar plugin at https://github.com/eprintsug/coar_notify and https://bazaar.eprints.org/1257/

Prerequisites: Signposting

This integration enables several core COAR Notify components:

  • Linked Data Notification (LDN) dataset
  • LDN inbox and handler
  • Framework for sending LDNs
  • COAR Notify: Repository Linking - input component, rendering and handling

For more information, please see COAR Notify

PCI

The PCI integration is available as either an ingredient or Bazaar plugin at: https://github.com/eprintsug/pci_review and https://bazaar.eprints.org/1258/

Prerequisites: Signposting; COAR Notify ingredient/plugin.

For more information please see: COAR Notify: PCI

COAR Notify development for EPrints has been supported by the COAR Notify Initiative via funding from Arcadia.
