Practical Issues

Who does the work Who pays for it Academic engagement Institutional engagement Who else is out there Putting stuff in - ok - getting it out?

First - Proving the benefit Proving the case

Rationale - beyond Declarations

Has to serve academics– cultural change to see underlying structure of publication

process

Prima Facie case for research dissemination Not so clear for Learning & Teaching objects eTheses are prime area for development Academics support concept, but . . . Perspectives and Policies

Ingest - who does the work?

Self-archiving– scalable– maintains status-quo

Mediated– metadata– processes are difficult– not scalable

Mixed economy– scalable– close to users– costs dispersed– needs management

Costs - who pays for it?

DIY– What functions do you want?– What criteria for success do you have?– How secure is your ground?

Turn-key– Longer-term concerns

Advocacy - engagement

Identify stakeholders– academics as researchers– academics as authors– funding bodies– institutional managers

Identify needs Specifically target those needs in advocacy Evangelism, temperance and compromise

– repository managers– librarians– publishers– public

Academic concerns

Subject base more natural ? – institutional infrastructure, view by subject

Quality control ?– peer-review clearly labelled

Plagiarism– old problem - and easier to detect

“I already have my papers on my website . . . “– unstructured for RAE, access, search, preservation

Threat to journals?– evidence shows co-existence possible - but in the future . . . ?

Issues for academic use

Copyright restrictions– approx. 93% (of Nottingham’s) journals allow their authors to

archive

Embargoes– defines relationship of publisher to research

Cultural change– like email

Deposition policies from funders

Networking - who else is out there?

With repository administrators With national networks With service providers With support service providers With stakeholder groups

– academics as researchers– academics as authors– funding bodies– institutional managers

– repository managers– librarians– publishers– public

External relations

Development arc - ingest

Research papers - published Conference papers Book chapters eTheses Research data Learning and teaching materials Grey literature

Development arc - use

Access– exposure

– publication lists

– shop-windows

– integration with information environment

Open Access Re-use support

– data-mining

– evidence-based work

Overlay journals Citation services

– integration with library provision– research management– research audit

Practicalities

Getting stuff in– authors– ingest mechanisms and protocols– resourcing

Getting stuff out– basic discovery– re-use– promotion
