DRUM provides a durable, public institutional route for scholarly dissemination and preservation.
Provisional calibration recordCollege Park, MD
University of Maryland-College Park
Maryland has credible repository and open-data infrastructure, but its public end-to-end research-publishing pathway is comparatively fragmented.

Clearest opportunity
Create one current support hub connecting research help, data planning, manuscript preparation, rights, and publishing.
Dimension assessment
Where the public support pathway is strongest.
Findability and navigation
11/15Repository and open-data services are visible, while the current researcher-facing support journey is difficult to reconstruct from central pages.
Literature search and evidence synthesis
11/15Subject expertise and research help exist, but structured evidence-synthesis support is not prominent in the reviewed public path.
Manuscript preparation and submission
12/20Digital scholarship and repository services support outputs, with limited central manuscript-preparation guidance.
Open access, copyright, and publishing
15/20DRUM and open-scholarship services provide dissemination and preservation infrastructure.
Integrity, reproducibility, data, and AI
15/20Open-data and repository services support transparency, sharing, and preservation, though lifecycle guidance is fragmented.
Practical access and maintenance
7/10Contact routes exist, but researchers must navigate between services to assemble the full pathway.
Secondary methodology check: the published weighting produces a provisional composite of 71/100 (strong band). It is retained for reproducibility, not presented as a rank or award.
Official evidence
Every dimension assessment has a source.
Only institution-owned pages are used for assessment. The public edition will add a correction record and independent-review checks before release.
University of Maryland Libraries Open Data
The official site promotes open and transparent scholarship and routes readers to data and open-scholarship services.

This record should improve when the evidence improves.
Independent reviewers can use the same six-dimension packet to check every source and note. If your institution offers a relevant service that is missing here, send the official page. We will review it under the same rubric and preserve the change in version history.
