  1. Research Quality Framework as a Catalyst for Open Access Joanna Richardson ePrints Project Manager Griffith University AusWeb06 July 2006

  2. Key points of conference paper • Trend / benefits: open access to publicly funded research • RAE & RQF: restricted access to research output for purposes of assessment • Traditional self-archiving: relative lack of success • DEST HERDC: use to populate ePrints / OAR repository • RQF: use to boost content in ePrints / OAR repository

  3. New developments? • Research Quality Framework (RQF) • Scheduled for 2008

  4. What is new? Sale, Prof Arthur (2006) APSR Workshop 4 May 2006 - The OA Advantage, accession policies, and the RQF . Technical Report, School of Computing, University of Tasmania Barnes, Ian (2006) APSR “Open Repositories 2006” – Integrating the repository with academic workflow APSR “The Successful Repository”, Brisbane, 29 June 2006 Author’s survey on “Integrating Open Access Repositories”

  5. Survey Objective • Determine extent of integration of ePrints systems with research management systems in Australian universities • Purpose of integration: to workflow research data • Annual DEST HERDC (Higher Education Research Data Collection) exercise • RQF – Preliminary / trial exercises

  6. ePrints Systems Implementations • Have implemented (19) • GNU EPrints (5) • GNU EPrints going to VITAL (1) • ProQuest Digital Commons (3) • VITAL (5) • DSpace (4): 3 new and 1 (GNU EPrints/ContentDM) • Fedora / Fez: (1) • Implementing (2) • DSpace • VITAL • Planning to implement / Under discussion (13)

  7. DEST HERDC – electronic data capture? • Yes: 24 • No: 8 • In development: 2

  8. Electronic Systems for DEST HERDC • Research Master (9) • Based on Research Master (1) • CALLISTA / WARP (5) • In house (7) • PeopleSoft (1) • FileMaker Pro (1) • Unknown (2)

  9. Integration of HERDC and ePrints? • Yes: 2 • In development: 5 • Minimally: 2 • Linked to implementation of new ePrints: 1 • Planned / Investigating: 9 • No: 7

  10. RQF – electronic data capture? • Have implemented (8) • In-house (4) • Research Master (2) • Research Master / VITAL (1) • PeopleSoft (1) • In development (4) • In-house (3) • Learning Edge (1) • Planning to implement / Under discussion (5) • Not implemented yet (17)

  11. Planned integration of ePrints / RQF? • Currently integrated: 0 • In development: 3 • Planning to integrate: 3 • Under consideration: 8 • No: 3

  12. Push / Pull • Research data (DEST HERDC) ePrints • RQF ePrints

  13. “Data, data everywhere … but not a thought to think!” -- Theodore Roszak

  14. Questions? • File formats • Document versions: publisher’s vs author’s • Automation of metadata • Build it; will they come? • “What’s in it for me?” when “It’s all about me” • Behavioural modification
