A Commission works as an interdisciplinary and interinstitutional space established by AmeliCA’s Board of Directors and whose goal is to develop actions to execute its principles and values.
Commissions are led by coordinators and may be composed of as many participant members as their structure and operations may require. The Board of Directors especially oversees that members of Commissions express the cultural, linguistic and gender diversity of AmeliCA’s member institutions provided they have proven academic excellence on the subject.
Coordinators must be from an institution that’s formally joined AmeliCA membership. Coordinators manage the activities of their own Commission; they provide the work plan and the annual management report with the help of participant members. Commissions provide the Board of Directors their work plan and management report in March each year. They may be structured as each think best to achieve their goals and carry out their operations. Decision-making is by consensus, endorsed by the Board of Directors through whom disagreements are solved.
Convinced that they will take forward the main themes that structure the management of knowledge results, in AmeliCA’s early stages the Board of Directors created 9 Commissions: Ameli Blog, Open Science, Contents, Community OJS: Users and Developers, Research, Responsible Metrics, XML JATS Editing Model, Editorial Professionalization and Intellectual Property.
