Embargo Message - Clarity and Specificity low #576

Open nrshapiro opened 2 years ago

nrshapiro commented 2 years ago

The current embargo message in the TOV is pretty non-specific.

Psyche has a 5 year wall. Here is the message:

The PEP Archive contains the full-text content of all of the volumes above. Due to contracts with the publishers, there is a three year moving wall (embargo of current articles) for most journals. You can browse the tables of contents up through the current issue, and searches include the complete text of the articles, but only the titles and abstracts (or summaries) will be displayed for articles from 2016 and newer. For details on how to read the full text of 2016 and more current articles see the publishers official website here.

The app plugs in the first year embargoed using the data in the Admin area. But the first sentence talks of a three year moving wall, and that is a bit overly general, when we could be more specific, as the old PEP-Web used to be.

At least we could follow that with a clarifying sentence like:

"This journal has a # year moving wall", where # is the actual number.

I don't see this in the admin panel; it probably should be there with variable placeholders for: {journal name} {embargoed-start} {embargo-length}

That way, we could recompose a global message as we'd like. For example:

The PEP Archive contains the full-text content of all of the volumes above. Due to contracts with the publishers, there is a {embargo-length} year moving wall (embargo of current articles) for this journal. You can browse the tables of contents up through the current issue, and searches include the complete text of the articles, but only the titles and abstracts (or summaries) will be displayed for articles from {embargoed-start} and newer. For details on how to read the full text of {embargoed-start} and more current articles see the publishers official website here.
