Manuscript Exchange Common Approach (MECA)

MECA is a common, easy-to-implement protocol for transferring research articles from one system to another. It is an official NISO Recommended Practice.

Catch up on what is going on with <MECA> a @NISOInfo Recommended Practice for transfering manuscripts between systems - update at #NISOPlus22 on Thursday at 11am ET: https://t.co/qUy5NPED3b

[Manuscript Exchange Common Approach (MECA) @MsExCmAp]

My origin story told today in the @scholarlykitchn. Thanks @lyconrad @itsgreenfifteen Joel Plotkin of eJP & @OccupySTM. Also covered, why I’m useful and what’s my future! #MECA #CascadingWorkflows #Preprints #PeerReview

[Manuscript Exchange Common Approach (MECA) @MsExCmAp]

Yes! A primary use case for <MECA> - #preprint server to submission system - including any comments and community reviews sent along so that the editors can utilize them as desired.

Coming up soon at #OASPA2021 - Poster Lightening Talks. @OccupySTM will present how <MECA> promotes open science through a community-lead effort to simplify data and file transfer, including enabling open peer review! https://t.co/p6nKe97Oib

Happy #PeerRevWeek21 & happy #OASPA2021 - excited to share MECA poster Tues. during the poster lightening session - "Promoting Open Science in Manuscript Exchange Common Approach: An Industry Effort to Simplify Transfer of Data & Files & Support Openness in Peer Review"

[Manuscript Exchange Common Approach (MECA) @MsExCmAp]

The @NISOInfo Recommended Practice "Manuscript Exchange Common Approach” is trying to solve the non-transferability problem. https://t.co/2vgAp567Qf

[ALPSP @alpsp]

Krumholz mentions as a problem the non-transferability of journal submissions.

As a JATS XML based @NISOInfo Recommended Practice - MECA can appreciate the work done by ISO on STS. Thanks @typefi @eXtyles & Bruce Rosenblum for this presentation.

Ever wondered how an XML schema is born? Bruce Rosenblum (@Atypon, @eXtyles, @NISOInfo) shares a ripping yarn on the past, present, and future of NISO STS in this presentation from the Typefi Standards Symposium. Grab a cuppa and check it out: https://t.co/vWqJTwJMWf #Standards21

I can’t tell you how frustrating it can be (and how often it happens!) when people don’t bother to review #standards or specs that will have profound impact on their biz, ‘cus they “don’t have time” even when you point it out, yet will inevitably complain about it after its done

#AI for manuscript transfer - according to @sonjakrane from @AmerChemSociety authors like transfer offers - @MsExCmAp <MECA> is designed to handle the transfer mechanism.

Thanks for MECA shoutout Melissa in @scholarlykitchn Great to take part in @JATS4R, along w/ "guest appearances from @Publons, @ReviewCommons , STM Peer review taxonomy group, as well as further outreach to @DocMaps and the @MsExCmAp working group."

A cross-publisher use of MECA! JCS, JCB and MBoC use MECA to alleviate the burden on authors who must submit to several journals in succession & on reviewers who may encounter the same manuscript from different journals" Learn more:

The @NISOInfo MECA Recommended Practice is an easy-to-implement way to send & receive article #metadata and files for cascading workflows between submission systems. Also can be used by #Preprint servers & authoring tools. https://t.co/vhz5KAmwkL

[Manuscript Exchange Common Approach (MECA) @MsExCmAp]

The #MECA @NISO Standing Committee met today to learn about @STMAssoc Peer Review Taxonomy project - thanks @TashaMellCoh ! Will be thinking how it might affect MECA recommendation. For more on MECA: https://t.co/IF2fAOaOlU

As a #JATS based @NISOInfo Recommended Practice this @CrossrefOrg article is music to MECA ears! Snip: “rich metadata provided by Crossref members and the development of metadata schemas supported by community collaboration” https://t.co/yxSqFOLBJ6
