These publications include, but are not limited to, USGS publication series, journal articles, books, book chapters, other government and nongovernment publications, cooperator publications, and conference proceedings. The Publications Warehouse is the authoritative catalog and publicly accessible location for accessing USGS peer reviewed scientific publications, as indicated in <a href="https://www.usgs.gov/about/organization/science-support/survey-manual/5024-fundamental-science-practices-review-approval">USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.4</a> and the <a href="https://www.usgs.gov/about/organization/science-support/office-science-quality-and-integrity/public-access-results">USGS Public Access Plan</a>.

The criteria for cataloging and full-text availability of USGS publications in the Publications Warehouse are given below.</li> </ul> <h5 id="catalog"><em>Catalog</em></h5> <ul> <li>The Publications Warehouse staff catalogs and indexes all USGS scientific publications according to criteria developed by the FSPAC Publications Warehouse Guidance Subcommittee.</li> <li>The Publications Warehouse catalog includes, but is not limited to, citation pages for USGS publication series as described in <a href="https://www.usgs.gov/about/organization/science-support/survey-manual/11003-us-geological-survey-publication-series">SM 1100.3</a>, outside publications as described in <a href="https://www.usgs.gov/about/organization/science-support/survey-manual/11004-use-outside-publications-including-abstracts">SM 1100.4</a> (such as journal articles, books, book chapters, other government and nongovernment publications, cooperator publications, and conference proceedings) prepared by USGS and other authors, and extramural publications.</li> <li>Information products outside the scope of the Publications Warehouse, such as abstracts, posters, presentations, data releases, and software releases, are not cataloged in the Publications Warehouse.</li> <li>The Publications Warehouse only contains information products prepared by authors who are affiliated with the USGS when the work was performed.</li> </ul> <h5 id="full-text-availability"><em>Full-text availability</em></h5> <ul> <li>Full text information products published by the USGS, such as USGS series publications, are provided for download from the Publications Warehouse.</li> <li>Scientific publications released in the USGS publication series (<a href="https://www.usgs.gov/about/organization/science-support/survey-manual/11003-us-geological-survey-publication-series">SM 1100.3</a>) are deposited in the Publications Warehouse by Science Publishing Network staff.</li> <li>The <a href="https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/usgs-library">USGS Library</a> digitizes print-only publications published by the USGS and makes them available online.</li> <li>The Publications Warehouse provides links to cooperators' and external publishers’ websites that provide the full text of USGS-authored publications when the links are available.</li> <li>The Publications Warehouse provides links to open access versions of USGS-authored publications if available.</li> </ul> <h4 id="requirements">Requirements<a id='Requirements'></a></h4> <h5 id="information-product-data-system-ipds"><em>Information Product Data System (IPDS)</em></h5> <ul> <li>A publication will not be cataloged in the Publications Warehouse if it has not gone through the appropriate Fundamental Science Practices (FSP) reviews and approvals. For publications published in 2012 or after, a disseminated IP number is required to catalog the publication in the Publications Warehouse.</li> <li>The IPDS dissemination task must be completed so that the publication can be properly cataloged in the Publications Warehouse. Until the product is disseminated, it will not be cataloged in the Publications Warehouse.</li> <li>To facilitate cataloging and indexing in the Publications Warehouse, accurate and complete bibliographic information <strong>must</strong> be entered in the IPDS. A publication cannot be cataloged in the Publications Warehouse if insufficient or inaccurate bibliographic information is provided in the IPDS.

If the publisher doesn’t provide a DOI, as much bibliographic information as is available should be provided in the bibliodata (such as final publication title, journal title or conference title, page numbers, etc.).</li> <li>For peer-reviewed journal products and extramural publications, the accepted manuscript (in docx format) must be uploaded into the IPDS before the product can be disseminated and cataloged in the Publications Warehouse.</li> </ul> <h5 id="cataloging"><em>Cataloging</em></h5> <ul> <li>Once disseminated in the IPDS, information product records are sent to the Publications Warehouse cataloging staff, who review, correct, and enhance the metadata that authors (or their designees) submit using the IPDS.</li> <li>Publications Warehouse cataloging staff also catalog pre-2012 USGS publications outside of the IPDS workflow when identified and within the Publications Warehouse <a href="#About-catalog_scope">cataloging scope</a>.</li> </ul> <h3 id="responsibilities">Responsibilities<a id='Responsibilities'></a></h3> <p>Maintaining the Publications Warehouse is a responsibility of the USGS Library, but it is a collaborative effort among many groups within USGS, and compliance with this guidance is incumbent on all USGS employees involved in developing scientific publications.</p> <h4 id="usgs-library">USGS Library<a id='USGSLibrary'></a></h4> <p>The <a href="https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/usgs-library">USGS Library</a> is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the activities of the Publications Warehouse.
