Journal asks for a author list
 =========================
Dear XXX

I am including the message below from Dr. Helen Caines (helen.caines@yale.edu) the coSpokesperson of the STAR collaboration in explanation of why I was asked to submit my article "XXX” with “The STAR Collaboration” temporarily as the author list.

XXX


To PRD Editors 

I am writing to ask that you temporarily accept submissions from the STAR collaboration without a full author list and only listing “The STAR Collaboration”. This request is being made by the STAR management and Council as a temporary measure while we consider how best to publish our articles in refereed journals while the war in the Ukraine continues. The STAR collaboration consists of scientists from around the globe including those working for Russian Institutions and those with Ukrainian heritage and working in European countries such as Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic. As you are no doubt aware, the governments of these countries are currently forbidding them to collaborate with scientists from Russian Institutions. The STAR Council, as the governing body of the collaboration on matter of publication policy, are working hard to determine an author list that appropriately credits those who worked on the analyses while also abiding by the orders of the various international government and funding agencies. Rather than halt our whole publication process while these deliberation are underway, we thought it's best to follow the example of the LHC experiments and submit temporarily as “The STAR Collaboration”. Our goal is to have arrived at an author listing that is approved by the whole collaboration before any of the submitted articles are put into press. Once accepted for publication we would provide a proper author list to the journal and update the arXiv listing with the same author list. This is a very complex time and has created a unique situation for international collaborations, so we appeal to you to allow us to  take this unusual temporary step. In this way the principal authors of these papers (mostly young scientists) can still publicly release their important new results to the broader community which is critical for their careers.

Thanks in advance

Journal asks about missing Russian authors
 =========================
 Dear Urs,
 
   Thank you for the query. As with the CERN collaborations, STAR has engaged in a series of long discussions
on this matter with all its members. The current approach was arrived at after intense discussion of the proposal and an overwhelmingly
 positive vote by our Council;  all authors on our papers are represented by at least one member of the STAR Council.  The proposed author
 list for this paper was circulated to the entire collaboration and no objections or requests to be included were received. 
 
We did discuss listing our Russian colleagues either via there ORCID ID’s or via a temporary association with a 
different host institute but they did not agree to this approach.
 
 Our temporary approach assigns an author list specific to each paper in a way that ensures all key authors are included on articles reporting their studies. We therefore believe 
that at this time this author list is appropriate. We hope that the invasion of the Ukraine can be ended soon and STAR can revert to 
our previous  manner of determining out author listing. Until that point we propose to use the current determination which while not perfect is
 acceptable to all in the collaboration
 
Helen Caines and Lijuan Ruan, STAR co-spokespeople

Charge to GPC: 

=========================

The GPC is requested to review the new STAR paper indicated above, and let STAR Management know when it is considered ready for review by STAR. The GPC should ensure that the presentation of the physics message and data is clear and impactful. It should take into account the logical flow and construction as well as the technical accuracy and correctness of the analysis. 

 

Please note that a dedicated mailing list (https://lists.bnl.gov/mailman/listinfo/star-gpc-XXX-l) has been created for this GPC, and all the PAs and GPC members have been subscribed. Please use this mailing list for all GPC communications, which will be archived automatically.

 

Version 1 - When the GPC Chair writes to the PAC/Spokespeople to ask for release to the collaboration review. The PAC/Spokespeople will download the current author list and acknowledgements, date them and send to the PAs for inclusion into the paper draft. The PAs and GPC should not be using an author list up to that point.

Version 2
When the GPC Chair writes to the PAC/Spokespeople to ask for release to the collaboration review. The PAC/Spokespeople will download acknowledgements, and send to the PAs for inclusion into the paper draft. "The STAR Collaboration" will be used as the author. The PAs and GPC should not be using an author list up to that point.

 

It is highly recommended that PAs prepare YAML data tables to be uploaded to HepData before the paper is announced to RHIC. Instructions on preparing YAML tables can be found here: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/marr/instructions-hepdata-submission

 

More information about the paper submission procedure can be found here: https://www.star.bnl.gov/central/collaboration/authors/

 

 

Guidance to GPC :

=========================

Guidance for the GPC process is described in the STAR publication policy item 14.

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/PublicationPolicy101613_v2.html

 

The Technical Notes and codes should be revised as necessary during the GPC process. The purpose of the STAR Technical note accompanying every paper is to describe the analysis, data and methods used, and all necessary background information. This would then allow each collaboration member, if desired, to repeat the analysis at a later time in the exact same fashion and reproduce the results published. A member in the GPC is assigned the responsibility to check, in discussion with PAs, if the analysis code compiles and processes the designated data set. When the paper is released by the GPC to the spokesperson for next steps towards publication, the PA's, in agreement with the GPC chair, are required to provide a note on the changes made to the Technical Note if any and the code check has been satisfactorily completed.

 

The manuscript recommended to the collaboration by the GPC should be a finished, sound, grammatically correct scientific publication ready for journal submission aside from final comments and tuning by the Collaboration at large. The GPC is requested to ensure that when the manuscript is released to management it should have the latest author list of STAR Collaboration, obtainable from the STAR web page and the latest acknowledgments.

 

It is presumed that most of your work can be carried out through email correspondence and also by phone/SeeVogh/BlueJeans conferences. If you require a meeting or direct discussion with the principal authors, then that should be also possible. Once you are satisfied with the manuscript, then STAR Management should be informed and it will be announced to STAR that the paper is available for review and comments by STAR for a two week period. At or near the end of those two weeks, the principal authors will be asked to prepare a modified version which addresses suggested changes with a statement about those changes that they feel are not warranted. This latter statement can take place in the form of email responses as the comments from STAR arrive and should be logged for reference if questions arise later. The God Parent Committee or GPC Chair may be asked for final review of the revised version before journal submission if deemed necessary.

=== Paper accepted =====

Version 1

Hello XXX

 

Congratulations! This is great news. 

 

When you receive the proofs, please forward them to Helen and myself, and we will check the formatting of the author list and acknowledgements. The PA is responsible for checking the rest of the proof. Please pay particular attention to the figures as these are occasionally altered in the formatting process. More details can be found here: https://www.star.bnl.gov/central/collaboration/authors/.

 

Please also prepare a short note for our STAR front page. It should be written for a non-expert, highlighting 1-2 of the key results with, preferable, only 1 figure. We link to the paper so no need to go into analysis details. The goal is to highlight to a non-expert the new results from STAR and why they are important to the field.

 

Meanwhile, could you check/followup on these items and let me know the status: 

- Make sure the analysis note on drupal and analysis code in CVS are up-to-date

- If different, change the analysis note title on drupal to be the same as the accepted paper title

- If there are any changes to the figures, please send me the updated figures in PDF format

- If not done yet, please upload data tables to HepData at your earliest convenience. Some instructions can be found here: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/marr/instructions-hepdata-submission. If done and there are changes to data points, please update accordingly.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

1) Based on the PA and GPC members, author list-YY is used for your paper, which can be found here: "/star/u/marr/PAC/figures/XXX". Please include it in your paper draft as well as the updated acknowledgement that you can find in the same directory, and send us the updated version. Helen will then send it to the starpapers list for comments for 3 business days. I will give you the green light to supply the author list to the journal afterwards. 

Later on, when you update the paper on arXiv with the final version, please include the xml file in the directory above. The "star-author-list-2023-XX-XX.txt" file contains the plain text version of the author list to be pasted to the Author(s) form field during arXiv submission.
 
2) When you receive the proofs, please forward them to Helen and myself, and we will check the formatting of the author list and acknowledgements. You are responsible for checking the rest of the proof. Please pay particular attention to the figures as these are occasionally altered in the formatting process. More details can be found herehttps://www.star.bnl.gov/central/collaboration/authors/.
 
3) Please also prepare a short note for our STAR front page. It should be written for a non-expert, highlighting 1-2 of the key results with, preferable, only 1 figure. We link to the paper so no need to go into analysis details. The goal is to highlight to a non-expert the new results from STAR and why they are important to the field.
 
4) Please check/followup on these items and let me know the status: 
- Make sure the analysis note on drupal and analysis code in CVS are up-to-date
- If different, change the analysis note title on drupal to be the same as the accepted paper title
- If there are any changes to the figures, please send me the updated figures in PDF format
- If not done yet, please upload data tables to HepData at your earliest convenience. Some instructions can be found here: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/marr/instructions-hepdata-submission. If done and there are changes to data points, please update accordingly. Once finished, please notify the reviewer. 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
 
Best

Rongrong

Instructions and information


 

Convener rotation

This page collects the steps needed when a new convener is on board

Mailing lists

Some tips about handling mailing lists:
  • One can configure a mailing list by logging into the administrative page with the passcode. Do not need to be an administrator.
  • Mailing list administrators will receive email notifications on new subscription requests, and can approve them as appropriate
    • PWG conveners are administrators of PWG mailing lists
    • One can add or remove administrators on the administrative page
  • How to configure a new mailing list? (check an existing list: https://lists.bnl.gov/mailman/admin/star-talks-l)
    • General Options
      • Replace the From: ... domain's DMARC or similar policies. -> select "Munge From"
      • Should any existing Reply-To: header found in the original message be stripped? -> select "Yes"
      • Where are replies to list messages directed? -> select "This list"
      • Maximum length in kilobytes (KB) of a message body -> set to "0"
    • Archive Options
      • Archive messages -> Yes
      • Is archive file source for public or private archival? -> private
      • How often should a new archive volume be started? -> Monthly
    • Privacy Options
      • What steps are required for subscription? -> select "Require approval" or "Confirm and approve"
  • Subscription: Membership Management -> Mass Subscription
  • Unsubscription: Membership Management -> Mass Removal

Paper publication process

Paper publication process (All email templates can be found here. Feel free to modify.)
  • PAs make a paper proposal to the PWG
  • PWGC preview
    • Conveners make a request to schedule the preview
    • Confirm the date with PAs and conveners
    • Send the preview announcement email to all PAs, not just PA rep, and conveners (see email template)
    • Take note during preview, and send it to PWG, starpapers and star-phys mailing lists
  • PWG review
    • PAs address preview comments, and send updated paper draft and analysis note to PWG for review. They should stay in the PWG for at least two weeks
    • Conveners should send in their comments within two weeks
  • GPC formation
    • Conveners make a request to form the GPC
    • Send the email to all PAs and conveners providing guidance, and asking for basic information about the paper as well as suggestions about GPC members (see email template)
      • Less than half of the time PAs recommend GPC members
    • Announce the intention to form a GPC to the star-pwgc mailing list (see email template)
    • Come up with a list of candidate GPC members and send to the management team for comments
    • Once the list of GPC members are agreed upon, send invitation emails to them. Usually they say yes.
    • Meanwhile, check the codes provided by PAs, and make sure they follow the guidances. Once PAs address all the comments, create a directory on CVS ($CVSROOT/offline/paper/PSNxxxx) where "xxxx" is the analysis note ID. Then ask PAs to commit codes to CVS.
      • If PA has trouble committing codes to CVS due to disk space hitting the limit, do the following: 
        • spot older / done papers
        • move them under a sub-volume like this: mv psn0734 .op05/
        • ln -s  .op05/psn0734 .
        • This essentially releases space from the base volume. .op05/ still has space and you have .op06/ and .op07/ unused (just fill the lower number sub-volume to the max and go to the next one when filed).
      • If the above does not solve the issue, contact Jerome
    • Subscribe all PAs and all GPC members to the dedicated mailing list (star-gpc-XXX-l), where XXX is the assigned GPC number
      • Need to request new mailing lists from BNL IDT regularly. I usually request 10 lists each time. Need to provide mailing list names to them.
      • Passwords to current PWG mailing lists can be found here
    • Send the GPC formation email to GPC members, all PAs, all conveners and spokespersons. (see email template)
    • Subscribe GPC chair to the editorial board mailing list (https://lists.bnl.gov/mailman/admin/star-editorialboard-l)
  • Collaboration review
    • GPC chair informs PAC that the paper is ready for collaboration review
    • Prepare author list and acknowledgement
    • Send instructions to GPC chair and PA representative for preparing necessary material (see email template)
      • Remind PAs to prepare tables for HEPData. They should pay attention to signifiant digits (guidance)
    • Come up with a list of institutional readers and send to management for discussion
    • Spokesperson will announce to starpapers that a paper enters the collaboration review, and contact council representatives of institutional readers to send in comments within two weeks.
      • During collaboration review, people can subscribe to dedicated GPC mailing list if they want to read through the discussions there. If this occurs, make sure to unsubscribe them after the collaboration review period ends. 
    • PAs address collaboration review comments, prepare responses, update documents (paper draft, analysis note and analysis codes if needed), and get them approved by GPC
  • Announce to RHIC
    • PAs send responses to collaboration review comments and updated documents to starpapers
    • If there are no followup comments after 1 week, ask spokesperson to announce the paper to RHIC (see email template)
      • If there are followup comments, make sure PAs address those comments before announcing the paper to RHIC
    • Send the list of items for PAs to follow up and confirm (see email template)
  • Submit to journal
    • One week after the paper is announced to RHIC, ask PAs to submit the paper to arXiv and journal. (see email template)
      • Make sure PAs send PAC the password on arXiv such that we can update the paper if needed in the future
    • Remind PAs to forward the confirmation email from journal to starpapers
    • Obtain the INSPIRE ID for the paper from the INSPIRE webpage (https://inspirehep.net/), and ask Frank to create an entry on HEPData for the paper, and assign GPC chair as the reviewer and PA representative as the uploader (see email template)
      • A paper usually appears on INSPIRE the next day it appears on arXiv.
    • Create an entry on Drupal, and upload paper figures. Find instructions on how to create the page below
  • Referee report
    • PAs should forward referee reports to starpapers
    • PAs work with the GPC to prepare responses to the report and update paper draft, analysis note, analysis codes if needed. All the material should be approved by GPC
    • PAs send responses to referee report and updated material to starpapers
    • If the referee comments are uncontroversial and minor, ask PAs to resubmit after 3 business days if there are no followup comments from the collaboration. Otherwise, ask them to resubmit after a week.
      • If there are followup comments from the collaboration, PAs should address them before submitting to the journal
  • Paper accepted
    • Prepare author list according to the PA and GPC members
    • Send the author list, along with other instructions, to PAs (see email template)
      • Ask PAs to make sure analysis note, analysis codes are up to date
    • Once PA prepares the paper draft with author list, ask spokesperson to send it to starpapers for review for 3 business days
      • Modify author list upon request
    • When PA forwards the proof reading, check author list and acknowledgement. PAs should check other aspects.
      • Author list: sometimes journal adds back country names
      • Acknowledgement: sometimes journal makes small modifications to the acknowledgement. Usually we should tell them not to do so as this is our official list. If their modifications make sense, discuss with spokespersons and Council chair to see if our official acknowledgement needs to be updated or not.
    • Update the paper figures on Drupal, if needed
  • Paper published
    • Remind PAs to upload the final version of the paper with author list to arXiv. They need to upload xml file to arXiv as well. 
    • Follow up with PA and GPC chair to upload, review and approve data tables on HEPData. Once done, ask Frank to release it to public. 
      • If any changes are needed for the HPData entry, ask Frank to reopen it. 
    • Once the entry is released, enter INSPIRE ID to Drupal page, and the link to HEPData will appear automatically.
  • More information can be found here: https://www.star.bnl.gov/central/collaboration/authors/
  • Host editorial board meeting 3-4 times a year: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/pwg/common/editorial-board
  • For bookkeeping, update paper status table: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/pwg/common/Physics-Analysis-Coordination/Accepted-papers

 ************************************************************
1. How to create a directory under PWG area?
a. AFS: 
/afs/rhic.bnl.gov/star/doc_protected/www/heavy/
Typical recipe for creating such directories for user $X (user's rcf account name): 
mkdir $X 
fs sa $X $X rlidwk

b. PDSF: /global/project/projectdirs/star/pwg/starhf
The directories are write protected to the 'starhf' group.  A user needs to be in that unix group, and then can create a directory himself.

2. How to grant permission to new conveners for PWG area?
i) Check the list of users who current have administrative permission: 
fs la /afs/rhic.bnl.gov/star/doc_protected/www/heavy/

ii) Current administrators can grant permission using:
%find . -type d -exec fs sa {} $UserID rlidwka \;

iii) Remove permissions for outgoing conveners: 

% find . -type d -exec fs sa {} $UserId none \;

but remember they usually have a sub-dictreory created with their name
so you need to also re-add afterward

%  find $UserId/ -type d -exec fs sa {} $UserId rlidwka \;

[note that in this case, the is no "a"]

Author Tools (old version)

principle author tools

This page is provided as a resource for principle authors of STAR papers to aid in the manuscript submission process. See also the links to the left.

the star internal review process

Once the GPC Chair has informed the Collaboration management that the paper has been signed-off by the GPC and is ready for Institutional review the Collaboration management will send the PA dated versions of the STAR author list and acknowledgements for inclusion in the paper draft. At this point the author list and acknowledgements for the paper will be frozen, except for modifications requested by Council members that have been approved by STAR management. It is strongly recommended that PAs prepare the data tables, to be uploaded to HepData, before a paper is announced to RHIC.

steps to submission

The following steps should be completed when submitting a paper to a journal. This assumes that one week has passed since the announcement and abstract to the other RHIC collaborations, and that Collaboration management has approved the submission:

  1. Look up the relevant PACS code(s) for your manuscript and update your LaTeX file with these. At the very least, the PACS code 25.75.-q ("Relativistic heavy-ion collisions") probably applies to most STAR papers.
     
  2. Submit the LaTeX file, figures and author.xml to the arXiv.org e-Print archive (instructions). The arXiv license "CC BY-NC-ND" should be selected. If you haven't registered previously with arXiv, you will need to do so (register). Papers submitted on weekdays before 4:00 p.m. EST/EDT will be available to the public after 8:00 p.m. and included in the next weekday's morning announcement.
     
    Note:
     When submitting the e-Print, please copy the plain text version of the author list and paste to the Author(s) form field.
     
  3. Submit the manuscript to the journal. Extensive guides exist for each journal.
    • For many journals it is possible simply to submit the arXiv e-Print reference for the paper (i.e. 'nucl-ex/0312009’). It is recommended that you do this if possible as this is the easiest, and least error prone approach.
    • If you haven't registered previously with APS Journals you will need to do so (register).
     
  4. Send an email to STAR-papers informing the collaboration that the article has been submitted and supply the paper title, e-Print, and journal information.

  5. PAs should send to the PAC arXiv paper password and journal reference number after submission.

  6. Send the figures in pdf format to the PAC.

  7. Once a paper is submitted, an entry will be created on HepData. The PA will be assigned as the uploader and the GPC chair as the reviewer. Then the PA uploads data tables to HepData, and the GPC chair reviews and approves them. 
the journal review process

If you are the submitting author and contact person for a STAR paper that is being reviewed by a journal, there are a couple guidelines to follow:

  • Based on STAR's publication policy, referees' reports should be forwarded to starpapers (e-mail) upon receipt. When follow-up is required, the principal author(s) and GPC should distribute their response to the referees and the revised manuscript to the collaboration (again on starpapers) prior to resubmission. The Spokesperson will provide guidance in the process and will adjudicate any conflicts.
     
  • Also, it is good practice to update the paper's supporting documents page on the web with referee reports, Collaboration responses, and updated versions of the paper.

upon acceptance

  • Once the manuscript has been accepted inform star-papers.

  • When you receive the proofs forward them to STAR management who will check the formatting of the author list and acknowledgements. The PA is responsible for checking the rest of the proof. Please pay particular attention to the figures as these are occasionally altered in the formatting process.

  • Prepare a brief article (one figure, < 1 page of text) that will be posted on STAR front page. This should highlight 1-2 key results of the paper. A link to the article will be provided so no need to go into analysis details, the goal is to have a brief report that a non-specialist can read and gain some understanding of the new results from STAR.

  • When you receive notification of the articles publication forward the announcement to star-papers.

  • You can sign the copyright form on behalf of the collaboration, if you have further questions related to the journal’s copyright release forms please contact the PAC.

  • If the journal asks for a contact email to publish with the article please 
    use "star-publication@bnl.gov" and not your own personal email address.
