UK-CoRR/RSP update May, 2012 Andrew Dorward
UK RepositoryNet+ (RepNet) • What is RepNet ? • a socio-technical infrastructure supporting deposit, curation & exposure of Open Access research literature. • What’s its aim ? • The aim is to increase the cost effectiveness of repositories of such literature. • How will it do this? • offering a sustained and well-used suite of services that enable repositories to operate more cost effectively
Open Access • Open Access • “a piece content or data is open if anyone is free to use, reuse and redistribute it – subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share alike” • Open Knowledge Foundation Definitions (undated) • Open Access journals • “are peer-reviewed journals whose articles may be accessed online by anyone without charge” • Swan • Open Access Mandates on research outputs from RCUK, Wellcome etc
Repositories • Institutional, Subject, Funder repositories • “a university-based institutional repository is a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. It is most essentially an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation where appropriate, as well as organization and access or distribution.” • (Lynch 2003).
Project Context • JISC-funded • 20 months from 18 August 2011 to 31 March 2013 • Bringing together under one banner services from previous or existing JISC projects and elsewhere • For more definitions see blog posts on • http://www.repositorynet.ac.uk/
