  3. Benefits • Evidence base to demonstrate the economic impact that results from investment in the research base • Data can be collected at any time once the grant is awarded • Tools to avoid duplication of effort • To enable “submit once, deposit many times” • Will help in making research outputs accessible to others

  4. How will it work? • Grant Holders contacted directly • Option to delegate data input to Co-I or administrator • Uses existing Je-S login details • Every grant for last 5 years • Institutional user to provide an overview

  5. Key features • Grant holders can… • Web Form upload • All outputs and outcomes • Bulk upload with a spreadsheet • Limited to publications and conference related • Universities/Institutional Repositories can… • auto-generate the bulk spreadsheet and upload • deposit outputs with SWORD • harvesting through OAI-PMH supported

  6. Outcome Types – Categories RCs are working with HEFCE to ensure that Outcomes and Outputs collected are in line with the classifications to be used for the Research Excellence Framework • Publications • Other Research Outputs • Collaboration/Partnership • Further Funding • Staff Development • Dissemination/Communication • IP and Exploitation • Award/Recognition • Impact

  7. Management Information • Microsoft Reporting Services • internal reports to start with • institutional reporting being considered… • Some Research Councils will extract data and integrate with their existing MI systems • Potential for an RCUK Grants on the Web

  8. Forward look • Automated deposit of Research Outputs (priority) • Adopt standards such as CERIF for the exchange of data between HEI’s, RCUK and HEFCE • Allow upload against multiple grants • Metadata look up from Web of Knowledge, PubMed, UK PubMed Central, Nielsen Book Data and Scopus • Receive deposits direct from Publishers…
