| JISC and UK Research Councils to build a robust repository infrastructure for the future Posted: 28 Nov 2011 07:56 AM PST groups.google.com "JISC and UK Research Councils to build a robust repository infrastructure for the future....Over the coming months a piece of work called the RIO Extension project will take place to scope the issues and requirements from universities, funders and researchers in managing the information about research outputs. The aim of the work is to provide the UK education and research sector with clear, practical guidance on recording and sharing information about its research outputs, so that it can be reused for a variety of purposes, including by the systems used by the Research Councils....Four of the Research Councils are shortly to launch the Research Outcomes System, which will be the primary means by which these Research Councils will collect this kind of information. JISC is supporting the creation of this service by ensuring that it works effectively and efficiently with institutional systems, including the UK repository infrastructure. This flexible and community-owned infrastructure is well suited to meet the demands of the 21st century research community....The RIO Extension project is also part of a larger programme of work scoping and delivering shared repository and curation infrastructure services at a national and international level. This work supports the strategic requirements of universities, colleges, JISC and the Research Councils to build a robust repository infrastructure for the future. It also contributes to the aspirations of the UK Open Access Implementation Group's 2012 strategy...." |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2011 07:48 AM PST groups.google.com "The newly-developed REF2014 plugin for the widely-used EPrints repository software is entering its live testing phase. Five universities that currently have their repositories hosted by EPrints Services will be participating in the testing process. The goal is to release the REF2014 plugin next February and it will be available free of charge....The plugin provides the functionality that repositories need to comply with requirements of the UK's Research Excellence Framework exercise. "It has been developed for a UK-specific purpose, but it reflects the flexibility of the EPrints software and the readiness of the development team to continue to strive to make repositories a valuable strategic tool for institutions," says Sheridan [Brown]...." |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2011 07:46 AM PST groups.google.com "New charts published on the SHERPA/RoMEO Blog show that 87% of journals allow some form of immediate self-archiving of articles, although in only 60% of cases is this a post-peer-reviewed version....This rises impressively once embargo periods have expired and any other restrictions have been complied with, showing that 94% of journals permit peer-reviewed articles to be archived. Furthermore, nearly a quarter of journals allow the publisher's version/PDF to be archived. Only 5% of journals do not permit any form of archiving. The statistics were compiled from a snapshot of the RoMEO Journals database taken on the 15th Nov.2011, when it contained about 19,000 titles...." |

| 1 million works available online through RePEc Posted: 28 Nov 2011 05:01 AM PST The RePEc Blog, (26 Nov 2011) "RePEc is about the facilitation of the diffusion of research in Economics. It does this through an open bibliography, which allows anyone to have its works listed, and anyone to use the bibliography. But of course, this is more powerful when the works are not just listed, but also available online with a direct link. RePEc has now links to over a million works covering Economics and Finance, about half of which are in open access...." |

Authors can publicize their work knowing that readers can instantly access it without the need for institutional or personal subscriptions....I would like to congratulate Wiley for taking a proactive approach by putting professional resources behind their neurology, neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry family of journals and moving forward with open access publishing. We debated at length (and still do with our Editorial Board and the Publisher) how best to proceed, and your feedback as authors and readers is very important...." |
