  1. Institutional Repositories and Self-ArchivingCrisis? What Crisis? Bill Hubbard SHERPA Project Manager University of Nottingham

  2. repositories and e-prints . . . • research material • available on the web • open access • cross-searchable • institutionally based

  3. ‘e-prints’ • ‘e-prints’ are electronic versions of research papers and other similar output • ‘pre-prints’ (pre-referred papers) • ‘post-prints’ (post-refereed papers) • other material • conference papers, book chapters, reports, etc. • key is subject’s quality control • particularly peer review

  4. archives in use - e-print ePrint A pre-referred working paper, or a post-referred piece accepted for publication. These are termed pre- prints and post-prints. This is normally a journal article, but could be other research findings - a conference paper, etc

  5. archives in use - metadata “metadata” name ______________ title _______________ keywords ___________ etc . . . . _____________

  6. archives in use - collection e-print archive or repository

  7. archives in use - world-wide world-wide institutional and subject-based e-print repositories

  8. archives in use - harvesting metadata harvesting by Service Providers

  9. archives in use - searching researcher ?

  10. archives in use - finding e-prints researcher

  11. why use OAI repositories • dissemination of research • impact of research • access to research • easy integration with current practice

  12. publication & deposition

  13. publication & deposition Author writes paper

  14. publication & deposition Author writes paper Submits to journal

  15. publication & deposition Author writes paper Deposits in e-print repository Submits to journal

  16. publication & deposition Author writes paper Deposits in e-print repository Submits to journal Paper refereed

  17. publication & deposition Author writes paper Deposits in e-print repository Submits to journal Paper refereed Revised by author

  18. publication & deposition Author writes paper Deposits in e-print repository Submits to journal Paper refereed Revised by author Author submits final version

  19. publication & deposition Author writes paper Deposits in e-print repository Submits to journal Paper refereed Revised by author Author submits final version

  20. publication & deposition Author writes paper Deposits in e-print repository Submits to journal Paper refereed Revised by author Author submits final version Published in journal

  21. benefits for the researcher • wide dissemination • papers more visible • cited more • rapid dissemination • ease of access • cross-searchable • value added services • hit counts on papers • personalised publications lists • citation analyses

  22. successful archives • arXiv - http://www.arxiv.org/ • Set up 1991 at Los Alamos • Now based at: Cornell University • Covers: Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science • Contents: 250,000 papers (pre-prints and post-prints) • other archives: • CogPrints - Cognitive Science • RePec - Economics working papers • centralised subject-based archives

  23. why “institutional”? • institutions have centralised resources: • to subsidise repository start up • to support repositories with technical / organisational infrastructures • to deal effectively with preservation issues over the long term • institutions get benefits: • raising profile and prestige of institution • managing institutional information assets • encourages an institutional identity in intellectual output

  24. SHERPA - • development partners • Nottingham (lead), Leeds, Sheffield, York, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Oxford, British Library and AHDS • associate partner institutions • Birkbeck College, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Durham, Imperial College, Kings College, Newcastle, Royal Holloway, School of Oriental and African Studies, UCL • funding: JISC (FAIR programme) and CURL

  25. repositories in use • checking permissions • process of deposition • searching for information

  26. repositories set up in each partner institution test papers being added negotiations with publishers discussions on preservation of eprints work on IPR and deposit licences advocacy campaigns starting sharing experiences and formulating strategies SHERPA - progress

  27. open access repositories are good for research institutional repositories offer the best solution supplementary to current practice easy to adopt assistance is available summary
