First-pass summary

Michigan combines conventional library research support with unusually concrete publishing infrastructure, including editorial and production services.

Standout signal

A real publishing operation that can help move work from an idea through production and dissemination.

Clearest opportunity

Make reproducibility and responsible-AI guidance as visible as publishing and open-access support.

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

14/15

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

Research help navigation exposes specialists, guides, formatting, impact, open access, preservation, and publishing services.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Literature search and evidence synthesis

11/15

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

Specialists, research guides, and citation management are visible; systematic evidence support needs deeper verification.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Manuscript preparation and submission

18/20

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

Formatting and a substantial publishing-services operation cover editorial, production, and dissemination needs.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Open access, copyright, and publishing

18/20

Public support covers publishing options, open access, rights, repositories, and author-cost questions.

Open-access help, copyright services, preservation, Michigan Publishing Services, and the university press are directly connected.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Integrity, reproducibility, data, and AI

15/20

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

Data sharing and preservation are visible; reproducibility and AI guidance require further audit.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Practical access and maintenance

8/10

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

The service menu and direct publishing contact are actionable, though workshop and freshness signals are less prominent.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence
