  1. Repositories and RAE SubmissionGetting More Out Of Institutional Repositories Bill Hubbard SHERPA Manager University of Nottingham

  2. To get more out . . . • You have to put more in!

  3. Repositories and the RAE • In principle – good fit for sciences • eprints as digital duplicates of articles • conference papers • but in a digital world, will articles remain as sole object of assessment? • Arts and Humanities? • book chapters • videos • multimedia • exhibitions, etc • Challenges – but soluble and being worked on

  4. Underlying issues with using IRs • Encouraging use by academics • Versions of papers • pre-print • post-print • author’s version • publisher’s pdf • What is being assessed? • Rights to house materials • for RAE • for Open Access

  5. National Funders Discipline Funders Institutions Researchers Funding cycle and assessment Publishers

  6. National Funders Discipline Funders Institutions Researchers in practice . . . Publishers

  7. Timing, timing, timing . . . • Next time . . . we’ll get it right! • What can we do now? • IRs can be used as Institutional Research Management System (IRMS) • IRs can be used as partial solution for OA materials – or where panels give the lead that they will accept author-versions

  8. Modifying the repository • Dark archives • Dark corners • Metadata only entries • pointing to external RAE/OA-access source • pointing to publisher site accessible by RAE • pointing to subscription site • But this does loose the fundamental idea of an Open Access Repository • Carts and horses . . . which is which?

  9. UK Institutional Repositories • Aberdeen • AHDS S • Bath • Birkbeck S • Birmingham S • Bristol S • British Library S • Cambridge S • Cardiff • CCLRC • Cranfield • Durham S • Edinburgh S • Glasgow S • Imperial S • Lancaster • Leeds S • Loughborough • LSE S • Kings College S • Manchester • Middlesex • Newcastle S • Nottingham S • Open University • Oxford S • Portsmouth • Royal Holloway S • Sheffield S • St Andrews • SOAS S • Southampton • Stirling • Strathclyde • Surrey • UCL S • York S • Warwick

  10. UKCORR- UK Council Of Research Repositories • Arts and Humanities Data Service • University of Bath • Birkbeck College • University of Birmingham • University of Bristol • British Library • University of Cambridge • University of Chester • De Montfort University • University of Durham • University of Edinburgh • University of Glasgow • Imperial College • Kings College • University of Leeds • University of Liverpool • Liverpool John Moores • London School of Economics • University of Newcastle • University of Nottingham • Open University • University of Portsmouth • Royal Holloway • School of Oriental and African Studies • University of Sheffield • University of Southampton • University of Stirling • University of Strathclyde • University College, London • University of York

  11. Futures • 10 years - what changes are coming down the track and what responses are needed? • What is inside your control and what is outside? • Irrespective of repositories, author-side charges, open access - what will develop? • Developments in the web and ICT alone will produce substantial change . . . • Some themes . . .

  12. Journals • Governments will not loosen the purse strings • Subscriptions per journal will continue to decline • Continued agglomeration of publishing concerns • Smaller publishers will continue to be squeezed and have to react • The big and the nimble will survive • Editorial and peer-review process will be technologically mediated • Unbundling of products, processes and services - with a global marketplace for service provision

  13. Academics and IT • Increasing connectivity • Increasing demand for rapid, permanent access, everywhere • Increasing demand for more information • Increasing demand for free access • Information per se will be more freely available and the links between information will become the valued commodity

  14. Research • Full Economic Costing and Value For Money • Public awareness and public availability • Raised awareness of IPR issues • Institutions being pressured to capitalise on assets • Cross-disciplinary research • Synthesis - evidence based research - data mining • Emergence of global standards - quality control? - with a global marketplace for service provision

  15. Research Assessment - processes • Change to metrics based assessment • IT-based – access, analysis, storage, process • Continual rather than periodic • Cross-publication and cross-discipline metrics – • Information that we will have at hand, rather than publishers • We will have the capability to service these needs in-house • We need to advertise our place in the process and lead innovation
