UKPMC ‘We exist for everyone who wants to do research – for academic, personal, or commercial purposes.’ - BL Strategy 2005/8
‘This is the life blood of research and innovation’ Science and Innovation Investment Framework 2004-2014, H.M. Treasury (2004) Information infrastructure 2.23 The growing UK research base must have ready and efficient access to information of all kinds – such as experimental data sets, journals, theses, conference proceedings and patents. This is the life blood of research and innovation. The largest document supply service in the world. Secure e-delivery and ‘just in time’ digitisation enables desktop delivery within 2 hours. 1.4m articles delivered in 2005/6 (80% STM) National library of the UK. Serves researchers, business, libraries, education & the general public Over 250 years of collecting. Beneficiary of legal deposit, and £15m annual acquisitions budget • Generates value to the UK economy each year of 4.4 times public funding Collection includes over 2m sound recordings, 5m reports, theses and conference papers, the world’s largest patents collection (c.50m) • 3 main funding streams: • DCMS grant-in-aid (£89m) • Annual trading income (£25m) • Donations (£4m) Helping people advance knowledge to enrich lives Collection fills over 600km of shelving and grows at 11km per year 1.25 Tb of digital material through voluntary deposit 3 main sites in London and Yorkshire. 2,250 staff
UKPMC Project • Based on PubMed Central (PMC) – the US National Institute of Health (NIH) free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature • Provides a stable, permanent and free-to-access online digital archive of full-text, peer-reviewed research publications. • Driven by deposit mandates and recommendations from the funders • Launched in January 2007 • Mirroring the PMC database • Implementing a manuscript submission system - UKMSS - to enable UK scientists to submit their research papers for inclusion in UKPMC.
UKPMC – The Partnership • European Bioinformatics Institute • Creates the links to the data • Integrates it with other repositories • Develops the discovery interface Text Mining and Data Linking Core Biology Data Biomedical and Bioinformatics Research • University of Manchester • Hosts the service • Builds ‘small-scale’ developments • Engages the HE community • Shapes future R&D Information Services Document Storage and Access Resource Discovery Document Management and Publishing • The British Library • Takes prime contractor role • Manages the grantee database • Marks up author submissions • Creates the marketing collateral • Promotes to the broader user community • Provides long-term preservation
UKPMC - Building on the Team’s experience & expertise • UKPMC is a natural fit with current business of the team members • The British Library • Builds on existing information services and relationships with the scientific community including NLM (2,000,000 STM Articles Delivered In 2005). • Benefits from 10 years of expertise in the ingest, storage and preservation of e-journals The University of Manchester • Gains from the University’s reputation as the major academic centre for bioinformatics (5 & 5* Ratings in RAE 2001) • Capitalises on MIMAS’ role as a national data centre hosting and supporting a complex blend of services for the scientific community (e.g. CrossFire and ISI Web of Knowledge) The European Bioinformatics Institute • Builds on the informatics services provided to the biomedical community over the past 20 years including the biology datasets hosted at EBI • Exploits existing literature-data links and services based on text mining technologies and the close relationship with NCBI
Phase 3 Phase 2 Preservation Full text searching Small-scale developments QA Ingest Phase 1 January 2007 Implement mirror 2007-2008 2008-2010 Grant reporting tool I Marketing Grant reporting tool II Integration with repositories Enhanced linking (EBI + other datasets) UKPMC build
Current Status • Manchester • Purchased IT infrastructure to support UKPMC, includes: • Repository for NLM DTD formatted papers (800,000 – 2 TBytes) • Submission system (NIHMS) • Testing functionality in ‘standalone’ IT environment (outside NCBI) • British Library • Hired Marketing professional and creating marketing plan • Selected 3rd party vendor for NLM DTD mark up and created QA process • Built grants database from funding organisations • Set up help desk for authors • EBI • Defining strategy for future development of UKPMC Initial Go Live = 8 January 2007
UKPMC UKPMC – embedding in the European bioscience environment Discovery interfaces (e.g. Intute) e-science workbenches Local ‘MEDLINE plus’ Integrated with community interfaces Accessed via bibliographic data Advanced text/data mining & visualisation ETOC Social publishing forums & new metrics for authors/funders Enhanced content Data supporting interdisciplinary research BL catalogue Publisher sites
The Vision • Placing UKPMC at the centre of UK bioscience research • Creating a ‘European PubMed’ – an entry point to data and text tailored to the European domain • Expanding the content available by providing links to the British Library’s extensive back-catalogue and negotiating UKPMC deposition with publishers • Supplementing the EBI datasets by linking to the UKPMC research archive • Linking documents to scientific data to support the interdisciplinary nature of research
The Vision • Embedding the service within the research environment – e-Framework, e-science and Intute • Extending knowledge through the mining and visualising of data, using tools being developed at EBI and Manchester • Providing new metrics for authors and funders to help assess the quality of research • Supporting ‘social publishing’, novel peer-review mechanisms and innovative publication discussion forums • Ensuring the permanence of UKPMC by preserving its content in the British Library’s Digital Object Management preservation store
Summary • Placing UKPMC at the centre of bioscience research • Builds on the existing strengths and synergy of the partners • Community • Delivery • Preservation • Provides a platform for the development of new services to the UK and European biomedical research communities • Gives us an opportunity to explore new avenues of scholarly communication and ways of managing the outputs of research
