<div><div>Dear Elena, Hi. Thanks for your message. Please, take into
consideration the following points to create and develop a national
Italian collection of journals. </div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">1.
The objective of a SciELO national collection is to index and publish
peer reviewed journals to increase viability, access and impact. It also
aims at to develop national capacities to produce journals according
the state of art. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">2. It
is expected to have only one national collection, which is coordinated
by a national recognized institution and the development of the
collection is assisted by a National Advisory Committe which is
responsible to determine which new journals are accepted and also
evaluated the permanence of journals in the collection. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">3. All national collection are operated with the same platform In order to guarantee full interoperability. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">4.
The interface is multilingual English, Spanish and Protuguese. If we
succeed to have a SciELO Italy we will need to have an Italian Interface
too. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">5. Usually, we do a
preliminary study on the feasibility of the creation and operation of a
SciELO national collection. If there are conditions to go on, we start
with pilot project involving 3 to 5 journals. This pilot usually takes
around 6-8 months to be completed. After the pilot project, if the
result is positive, a regular operation starts. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">6.
A National SciELO collection needs a coordination unit to run the
collection and to serve as sedretariat of rhe advisory committee. It
needs also IT people and physical infrastructure to run the platform. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">7. SciELO Brazil provides training to the coordination unit, to journals and to companies that serves journals. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">8. There are two main models of operating a national collection:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">-
the national coordination unit takes the responsibility of preparing
the XML marked up articles according the SciELO Publishing Schema which
is a JATS implementation. This is the more efficient and straight
forward to operate national collection but requires à coordination with
enough resoruces to guarantee the overall operation of the collection.
It is possible to start this model and move to the second after about
two or three Years of operation. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">- journals are responsible to send the XML and PDF files to the coordination unit. So, the costs are shared. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Due
to the complexities of XML preparation, many countries promoted the
creation of national companies to prepare xml files since there is no
reason to develop journal capacity to just prepare a few number of
articles. </div>
