First-pass summary

Michigan State provides particularly transparent data and open-publishing support, backed by liaison and reference services.

Standout signal

The public open-access agreements and decision support make author costs and eligibility unusually concrete.

Clearest opportunity

Add a central manuscript-preparation path that connects existing discovery, data, and publishing services.

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.

Reference, data, and scholarly-communication services are discoverable, but the journey is distributed.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Literature search and evidence synthesis

12/15

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

Liaison librarians, research help, and citation tools are visible; structured evidence synthesis is less prominent.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Manuscript preparation and submission

13/20

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

Research workflow and publishing guidance exist, with limited central manuscript-submission support.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Open access, copyright, and publishing

17/20

Open-access agreements, author rights, peer review, costs, and repositories are covered in detail.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Integrity, reproducibility, data, and AI

18/20

Researchers can access data-management, reproducibility, research-integrity, and responsible-AI guidance.

Data-management guidance spans planning, collection, publishing, reuse, and long-term storage.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Practical access and maintenance

9/10

Help is actionable through consultations, workshops, templates, accessible pages, and current maintenance.

Consultations, training, chat, and liaison contacts provide multiple access routes.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence
