The Next Generation of IRs – enabling closer cooperation & networking International Workshop on institutional repositories and enhanced and alternative metrics of publication impact 20-21 February 2006, Berlin, Humboldt University Lars Björnshauge, Lund University 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

The Current Situation Development & implementation of IRs are spreading rapidly in Universities University colleges Research Centers etc. But …. 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Still early days!! From the beginning: an additional channel for dissemination of publications To get more visibility To get higher impact Often initiated by committed researchers & librarians To a large extent still to be labelled as experiments 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

The ”Open Access Movement” Inceased attention to the open access issue from researchers, decision makers, funding bodies Declarations (e.g. Budapast, Berlin) Recommendations & Mandates (e.g. Wellcome Trust, CERN) 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

The ”Open Access Movement” Declarations and mandates generates increased attention to the OA-publishing & dissemination channels (incl. IRs) Means: serious business! 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

More stakeholders Internal stakeholders External stakholders When more stakeholders enter the scene new needs and demands are emerging 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Internal stakeholders: Authors, departments, faculties Research management Information department Legal department Archive Library 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Numerous purposes Not only dissemination but as well: Record of the institutional output Annual Report Research assessment Taylored Author CVs Putting new demands on IR-managers 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Professionalization When IR move upwards on the institutional agenda certain issues become more important: Costs, Efficiency, Accountability, Sustainability Push towards Professionalization! 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

External stakeholders Research funders demand Quality Figures Metrics Potential service providers want Uniformity 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Moving from experiment to service means: Ability to comply with standards Ability to provide effective workflows Ability to provide long term availability Ability to provide consultancy Ability to provide figures Ability to provide not only visibility but as well impact 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Traditional publishing Standards/Definitions/Formats: Journals Articles Metadata References Allows development of secondary services – A&I-services, databases, citation indexes etc. 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

IRs are a new phenomenon First open source software (E-prints 2000) Low degree of uniformity Standards Definitions Formats Protocols Developing secondary services based on IRs poses lots of problems 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Experiences Working with OpenDOAR: ”Quality” of IRs is very varied www.opendoar.org ”Quality” of IRs is very varied Services based on IRs as of today tend to Have a lot of noise Be ”quick & dirty” 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Critical success factors for IRs Descriptions & definitions Document types Subject classification IPR & policy issues Granularity (document types and subject) ”Quality” (peer review, versions etc.) Last but not least: filling the IRs!! 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

The next generation of IRs Organizational issues: Integrated in the operations of the institution (university, research center) Legal issues approved by the legal entity in the institution 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

The next generation of IRs Operating according to standards Adequate granularity Ability to be harvested by service providers according to standards and protocols Certification 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Cooperation & networking Contribute to development and implementation of standards and certification programmes Advocacy Creation of an international infrastructure to support the further development of IRs 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Cooperation & networking The activities of national entities like JISC (UK) SURF (The Netherlands) DINI (Germany) other national entities and their cooperation is crucial for the development for the next generation of IRs 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Catching up The agenda for IRs: Filling the IRs: Professionalization: Advocacy Workflows Figures Professionalization: Standards Handling legal issues (IPR) Certification 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Catching up The agenda for IRs (continued): Enable the content of IRs to be discovered and picked up by tomorrows quality service providers And ultimately: Enable the content to discovered by users as an integrated part alongside conventional content (journals articles etc.)! 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

Cooperation & Networking Both A prerequisite for developing the next generation of IRs And A result of the development of the next generation of IRs 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge

This workshop is but one of many much needed cooperating & networking activities in order to bring the important issues forward!! Thanks to the organizers for that! 4/13/2019 Lars Björnshauge
