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.
