  1. Include affiliation when replacing an author with an existing researcher

    It would be more efficient if we could add an affiliation when we are replacing a creator/contributor on a record with an existing researcher. As it is, I need to replace and then go back and edit the researcher to include an affiliation.

  2. Alma Esploro Interface and Alma Users as Researchers

    In the Alma Esploro interface we would like to not have to edit Researcher roles when a User is also a Researcher. Right now anyone with an Alma login will need to be granted an Observer role in Esploro if they are made Researchers.

  3. Activate my profile button on the Researcher Profile

    On the researcher profile it would be nice to have a button to request to "publish my profile". The scenario being profiles are by default off and we are asking researchers to update the information in the overview section. It is not obvious to the Researcher that their profile is not live unless they do a search in the Profiles portal for themselves. We are currently manageing this in an online tutorial in Springshares LibWizard with options to "request to publish" or "don't publish I’m still working on it." This would be best managed from within the profiles and the…

  4. Integrate calls for papers (Papers Invited) into researcher profiles

    Integrating the submission form (https://www.papersinvited.com/#submit-paper) into researcher profiles makes it easy for journal editors and conference/event planners to quickly and easily advertise their call directly within their profile and continues to build up the practical functionality of the platform for researchers.

  6. Add "Organization ID" to Export to Excel

    It would be great if "Organization ID" was added to the assets fields exported to Excel (in "Export list").

  7. Confirmation message when updating area of interest - Backend

    When editing a profile from the Alma backend it is incredibly easy to accidently delete the Areas of Interest section which, if done accidently, would require the researcher to enter the details again. It would be good to have a confirmation message attached to this action e.g. Are you sure you want to delete the Areas of Interest from the Profile?. I know this is operator error and you could cancel out of the record, but I’m sure it’s going to happen at some point.

  8. Display All Asset Record IDs in Alma/Esploro Editing Screen

    Include all asset record IDs in Alma/Esploro for easier construction of OAI-PMH GetRecord requests. These currently only work on <identifier>oai:alma.61RMIT_INST:11247527950001341</identifier> and this identifier is not displayed in any asset record. This makes it impossible to complete a GetRecord request.

  9. Add the ability to view Publishing Information to Esploro research assets

    For Alma physical, electronic and digital records there is the option for administrators to view the Publishing information.
    This functionality does not exist for Esploro Research Assets.
    Can the ability to view publishing information for Research Assets be added to help enable troubleshooting.

  10. Moving from grants to linked assets

    It would be helpful if there was an easy way to move from the list of grants to the linked assets, much like you can view assets from a researcher record.

  11. Researcher ability to retrospectively add an accepted manuscript via Researcher profile

    • We would like to increase the amount of Open Access available via our repository and would like to see functionality that enabled a researcher to retrospectively submit an accepted manuscript attached to an already reported metadata record. This will become increasingly important once the auto harvester is activated. The manuscript would be submitted and mediated by library staff to ensure that it complies with the copyright requirements and embargo periods of the publisher. I would imagine that it would appear in the task list (as a separate type of task).
