1. Open Access improvements and unification

The 5.4.1 / 4.23.1 Release notes had indicated that the logic for the Open Access Status had been updated to fully capture the implications of the record Visibility (i.e. Public / Campus / Backend / Confidential), and whether a DOI or Link electronic version has been added (as the OA Status of outputs accessible via external DOIs or Links is not impacted by the visibility of the Pure record). Unfortunately, this was not the case; this issue has now been resolved in this release.

The description of the logic behind deriving the Open Access status of the record is available here

CV module

2. Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) CV Template

We have delivered the following bug fixes:

• Section B : (1) Academic degree(s) : Ensure ‘Professional qualifications’ are not available for selection in this section
• Section I : Extramural Professional Responsibilities : Ensure that only those Activity types specified in the mapping are available for selection, and add ‘Conference participation’ to those available for selection in the ‘Invited Presentations’ sub-section
• Download the CV to Letter (8.5” x 11”)

We will endeavour to deliver additional changes and mapping improvements for the 5.6 release in June.

Country-specific functionality

3. UK : REF2020 Module

With regards to REF OA Compliance monitoring, we have fixed the issue that was resulting in Access dates not being populated for some uploaded electronic versions. Upon upgrade, you must run the 'Generate OA compliance status' job, and this will resolve the issue of missing 'Earliest access date' (and resulting erroneous REF OA Compliance status) for affected records.

Note that there are still some known issues relating to how DOIs are incorporated into the REF OA Compliance status. We hope to have these issues resolved in an upcoming 5.5. bug-fix release. Further details are available at Open Access compliance - Notes and issues CLOSED.
