Enhancing Research Preservation: Insights from the PRESERV Partners Meeting

The PRESERV Partners Meeting, held on November 18, 2005, at the University of Southampton, focused on improving digital research preservation strategies. Key discussions led by Tim Brody highlighted the functionalities of the University of Southampton's e-Prints Soton repository, which integrates all research output, including metadata and full texts where possible. Workshops on self-archiving, stakeholder engagement, and repository scaling were also featured, aiming to address challenges in research preservation, accessibility, and user engagement. Insights on options for certification and collaboration with research funders were key takeaways for stakeholders.

  3. University of Southampton Research Repository • e-Prints Soton: • Moved physically to Information Systems Services from School of Electronics and Computer Science since fire • Embedded service mode • Recently obtained library/ISS developer support - Adam White • Will shortly have test server • Repository shortly to have increased metadata input with RAE activity

  4. e-Prints Soton • Administrator team • Light mediation – citation check and adding DOI or other useful info • Schools – contacts evolving – tech or admin • Mixed input • Self archiving and batch • Have users (admin to end user) for PRESERV discussions • Main current concerns – are procedures good for scaling up? • Can PRESERV help with useful reports eg formats detail?

  5. Oxford Eprints • Research articles by Oxford authors • Set up with SHERPA support – librarian designated during project phase • Articles from OUP – experiment • To move to new server shortly • Lower key but can test software • Neil Jefferies – tech support - update

  6. Stakeholders • Initial concentration: • Researcher viewpoint • Interviews – what research do you want to preserve? • Early indications • Ideal: my (or my group, my department) research in context • Repository plus web site enrichment • Want to know how research direction was arrived at

  7. Other stakeholders • Wider university eg VC, DVC, information services – administrators • Admin: files plus links • OAIS – need OAIS lite if validate. Poss. Certification preferably advice • Preservation services eg BL • End users/teachers • Research funders – defining policies • Wellcome Trust activities will provide more developed preservation for specific subject areas
