Dear All,

I am happy to share our release blog post for Direct2AAM, a set of guides created to help authors find a copy of their accepted manuscripts.

We developed these in response to authors’ and librarians’ feedback that hunting for copies on hard-drives and inboxes is too often confusing, frustrating, and ultimately unsuccessful. Instead, journal submission systems, which are typically used to manage the publication process for authors, provide a straightforward and authoritative source of AAMs.

The guides are a resource for the community, and we encourage all to share and reuse them. The guides are also open for contributions, so if you are a institutional repository librarian, if you work closely with authors, or if you have ever asked for content in behalf of authors we'd love to hear and learn from you. 

Happy to answer all your questions. 

Kind regards,

Natalia
