[Nheri-council] NHERI Collection in Frontiers in Built Environment (FBE)

[julio ramirez]

NHERI Council:

I am following up on the subject matter, as we agreed at yesterday's 
Council meeting, and
have the following two items for your attention.

*Ellen:* the Council agreed with the timeline for submitting the 
manuscript of January 2020. This
would allow FBE to have the review done and the collection published by 
July 2020. Is DesignSafe
ok with this? Your facility was not represented at the meeting, and this 
is your opportunity to express
your view.

1. *Topic Editorial Board*- these are individuals who will handle the 
editorial work on the
manuscript that you will submit for the E-book on NHERI. These will 
consist of 4 to 6 members,
including myself.
I will serve as the lead Topic Editor, so that I am able to coordinate 
the submissions and
have full access to FBE management platform for the collection. I will 
not be involved in handling the
review process of the manuscripts, but through the management platform, 
I will be able to see all
submitted manuscripts and their progress in review. A manuscript 
submitted by the NCO will be
reviewed by an External Editor from FBE.

/*Would you please provide possible name(s) to serve as topic editors?*/ 
The members of
the board should be free of conflict of interest with NHERI. Conflicts 
of Interest (COI) to be avoided
between the editors and authors to consider when nominating members of 
the Topic Editorial Board
can be:

  * Shared Institutions
  * Collaborations in the past two years (co-authoring, project
    collaboration)
  * Close personal/family relationships.

I will compile your input and propose a group to the Council before 
submitting to FBE. If we do not
provide names FBE would propose editors from their broader editorial group.

2. *FBE invoicing*: /*please provide me with *//*the name and contact 
information at your institution*/ of
the representative that should receive the invoice for the 15% of $1900 
for your manuscript publication
in this open source journal.

I have a call scheduled with FBE on *August 7*. It would be great to 
have the two items ready by then.
Look forward to hearing from you,

Thanks!
Julio
