Practical Issues
Who does the work Who pays for it Academic engagement Institutional engagement Who else is out there Putting stuff in - ok - getting it out?
First - Proving the benefit Proving the case
Rationale - beyond Declarations
Has to serve academics– cultural change to see underlying structure of publication
process
Prima Facie case for research dissemination Not so clear for Learning & Teaching objects eTheses are prime area for development Academics support concept, but . . . Perspectives and Policies
Ingest - who does the work?
Self-archiving– scalable– maintains status-quo
Mediated– metadata– processes are difficult– not scalable
Mixed economy– scalable– close to users– costs dispersed– needs management
Costs - who pays for it?
DIY– What functions do you want?– What criteria for success do you have?– How secure is your ground?
Turn-key– Longer-term concerns
Advocacy - engagement
Identify stakeholders– academics as researchers– academics as authors– funding bodies– institutional managers
Identify needs Specifically target those needs in advocacy Evangelism, temperance and compromise
– repository managers– librarians– publishers– public
Academic concerns
Subject base more natural ? – institutional infrastructure, view by subject
Quality control ?– peer-review clearly labelled
Plagiarism– old problem - and easier to detect
“I already have my papers on my website . . . “– unstructured for RAE, access, search, preservation
Threat to journals?– evidence shows co-existence possible - but in the future . . . ?
Issues for academic use
Copyright restrictions– approx. 93% (of Nottingham’s) journals allow their authors to
archive
Embargoes– defines relationship of publisher to research
Cultural change– like email
Deposition policies from funders
Networking - who else is out there?
With repository administrators With national networks With service providers With support service providers With stakeholder groups
– academics as researchers– academics as authors– funding bodies– institutional managers
– repository managers– librarians– publishers– public

Development arc - ingest
Research papers - published Conference papers Book chapters eTheses Research data Learning and teaching materials Grey literature
Development arc - use
Access– exposure
– publication lists
– shop-windows
– integration with information environment
Open Access Re-use support
– data-mining
– evidence-based work
Overlay journals Citation services
– integration with library provision– research management– research audit
Practicalities
Getting stuff in– authors– ingest mechanisms and protocols– resourcing
Getting stuff out– basic discovery– re-use– promotion
