First-pass summary

Columbia combines strong data stewardship with substantial open-scholarship and publishing infrastructure.

Standout signal

The Libraries support more than 30 open-access scholarly journals with publishing infrastructure and consultation.

Clearest opportunity

Present the distributed services as one researcher-facing publication journey with clearer manuscript-stage guidance.

Dimension review

Check the score, note, and evidence boundary.

Confirm only when the note is supported by the cited institution-owned pages. A missing public signal means it was not discoverable in the reviewed evidence, not that the service does not exist.

Findability and navigation

13/15

A researcher can find a coherent support hub, subject expertise, and a clear route to help.

Research data and open-scholarship services are visible, though the full support journey is spread across several hubs.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Literature search and evidence synthesis

13/15

The institution offers practical help with searching, evidence synthesis, citations, and research discovery.

Specialists support data discovery, analysis, and research consultations; systematic-review support is less central in the reviewed pages.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Manuscript preparation and submission

15/20

Researchers can find guidance for writing, reporting, publication strategy, and preparing work for submission.

Data planning, secure infrastructure, publishing, citation, and preservation are covered across the research lifecycle.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Practical access and maintenance

9/10
