7 FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF REPOSITORIES DRIVER SUMMIT GÖTTINGEN 17 JANUARY 2008
TOWARDS A EUROPEAN AGENDA • Two-tier approach: • Deployment of repositories at research institutions that do not have one yet. • Increasing coverage of research output of existing DR’s • Possible action points: • Increasing retrievability • Best practices for depositing processes • Nuanced approach to effective mandatory policies • Development of services (citation index; preservation) • Technical harmonisation by developing standards DRIVER SUMMIT GÖTTINGEN 17 JANUARY 2008
