| Comments on workflows | This will all be handled on IOP’s end. The library will not have to approve any articles. IOP will provide a quarterly report and an annual statement of the eligible articles accepted and published. |
| OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND COMMENTS |
This is sustainable with regards to costs and operations. We shall assess whether this “library hands off” approach is working for us or if we want to the library to be more involved in the approval process. |
