ePrints UK: a service provider project Ruth Martin UKOLN, University of Bath

A few definitions first… An e-print is an electronic copy of an academic research paper, either before the stage of refereeing and acceptance by a scholarly journal (“pre-print”) or after (“post-print”).

Definitions continued… An e-print archive is a repository of metadata and sometimes the full text of e-print papers. It provides a simple interface to allow the depositer to enter the metadata for the article as well as attaching the full text.

OAI-compliant e-print archives …share the same metadata to make their contents interoperable with one another and thus allow the metadata to be harvested by other OAI-compliant archives.

Why archive? “online articles are more highly cited because of easier availability" Steve Lawrence, Nature (2001) vol 411, no. 6837, p.521.

More definitions… The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) provides an interoperability framework for metadata harvesting. A data provider is a source repository of e- print metadata records. A service provider harvests those records using the OAI-PMH.

ePrints UK A service provider project Funded by JISC under the FAIR programme programmes/fair.html Partnered by the Resource Discovery Network (RDN), University of Southampton, and OCLC.

ePrints UK architecture

A technical project? Shortage of UK based e-print archives Shortage of records in those archives Bias towards scientific and technological subjects Cultural, managerial, legal, and technical barriers to overcome.

How to tackle the record shortage problem? Harvest from international archives But we’re called ePrints UK! Help other FAIR projects to advocate the development of e-print (and e- thesis) archives and the practice of self- archiving.

Barriers IPR issues Quality control Inertia Politics Institutional identity v subject identity

For some answers… Try the SPARC Institutional Repository Checklist and Resource Guide The Scholarly Publishing & Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC)
