Trigger points Institutional Repositories Open Access movement Meeting in the middle: TARDis project Southampton University Research Repository e-Prints Soton The broader picture: Research repositories Digital repositories

In an ideal world of scholarly communication – all research is freely available June 27 th th anniversary of Stevan Harnads Subversive Proposal leading to the open access vision for scholarly material See also Harnad, S. and Hey, J. M. N. (1995) Esoteric Knowledge: the Scholar and Scholarly Publishing on the Net. In Proceedings of Networking and the Future of Libraries 2: Managing the Intellectual Record, Proceedings of an International Conference, Bath, April 1995, Dempsey, L., Law, D. and Mowlat, I., Eds. And journals still become more and more expensive Even the work of researchers in our own institution is still often unavailable to us ………… but were making real progress We get requests from all over the world for items which dont have full text in our repository

Open Access to research 2 complementary routes Open Access journals Open Access repositories Open Access Briefing Paper April OpenAccess-v1-final.pdf

Some Southampton influences Original EPrints software created at Southampton to enable the vision - now used by over 160 institutions worldwide – also spawned other software choices Some Soton departments have culture of deposit (but not all OAI compliant and searchable together) Electronics and Computer Science use the software for school publications database – now a repository with daily deposits (will be incorporated in e-Prints Soton)

Adding more functionality with Latest feeds – by web site and screen at entrance – todays e-Prints

Screen in foyer – is my paper there?

S 3 RI papers from e-Prints Soton

An Institutional Research Repository for Southampton Institutional Repository for Research set up (e-Prints Soton) with TARDis project to investigate issues for new concept (within JISC funded FAIR programme) Southampton University Research e-Prints - working closely with individual schools – found that depends so much on publication culture and working practices TARDis project: Feeding back into EPrints software good citation and information management practice experimenting with best balance of assisted deposit has capacity for adding full text (e-Prints) if available –Electronic copies of any research output e.g. journal articles, book chapters, conference papers even multimedia TARDis: Targeting Academic Research for Deposit and Disclosure FAIR: Focus on Access to Institutional Resources

Sampling of faculty websites – assessing practice

Share the glory (interdisciplinary papers) and sell your book too

e-Prints Soton evolution Original intent to provide secure storage for the full text of Southampton research output (e-Print Archive including post refereed pre published versions of papers deposited by researchers) Feedback: maximum benefit if the exercise also assisted researchers with time consuming research reporting tasks: Research Assessment (RAE), University Research Report, web pages, research proposals, CVs etc Evolved to hybrid publications database for all research output with full text where available

Add your metadata and full text if available and allowed: therefore appropriate for Humanities too

e-Prints Soton evolution: aiming for full moon at midnight – the TARDis route map to Open Access

Achieving a slower but more sustainable model – the TARDis route map To achieve the original vision we are moving around the clock face Collaborating with academics to provide tailored valued services for different disciplines (needing extra functionality) Aided by a fast moving shared international movement All rising to great place is by a winding stair Francis Bacon

External climate e.g. Copyright issues changing fast Common e-Print deposit: Postprint = Post refereed pre- journal version We provide link to published version for joined up picture

As of today

Transition to University integrated service – shared ownership Southampton University management (agreed Nov 2004) to support the next stage of a library managed repository for key role in research recording and visibility tasks Collaboration with both Information Systems Services and School of Electronics and Computer Science will continue although TARDis is completing its transition to invisibility.

Southampton Press Release 15 Dec 2004 'We see our Institutional Repository as a key tool for the stewardship of the University's digital research assets,' said Professor Paul Curran, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University. 'It will provide greater access to our research, as well as offering a valuable mechanism for reporting and recording it.

House of Commons Science and Technology committee Inquiry into scientific publishing Written evidence Feb 2004 (127 submissions) Oral evidence March-May 2004 Report 20 th July 2004 Government response Nov 2004

Report…. 82 recommendations Improving current practice Author-pays publishing model And Institutional Repositories –UK HEIs to set up IRs –Response – up to institutions –British Library to be supported to provide digital preservation

RCUK position statement 19 April 2005 RCUK Consultation on access to and dissemination of the outputs of research RCUK has agreed a position statement on access to and dissemination of the outputs of research funded by the Research Councils. This information was circulated to Vice-Chancellors in March, to give them an opportunity to comment before the document is finalised. RCUK expect to formally release the statement in its definitive form in mid-May 2005.

RCUK…. But deadline for replies from Vice Chancellors was 11 th May Generated lots of responses – generally favourable Expect to make some detailed changes and issue before end of month (now, in fact, Autumn and further consultation)

Key points in draft Reflects the view of 8 research councils Key points in draft: Deposit publications for research council funded work in OA repository where one exists, at earliest opportunity and taking notice of copyright Engage with stakeholders to develop effective copyright arrangements Will allow applicants to include predicted cost of author-pays journals in project costings

Russell Group statement in my this morning

Currently 20+ UK IRs starting but set to increase SHERPA network plus…. Guardian March 14, 2005: Scottish universities sign open access deal The declaration commits each of its 16 university signatories to setting up online libraries of research findings and doctorate papers which all academics can access

The UK vision: a national and international development of IRs The JISC vision reflecting the individual repositories (JISC Inform no. 8)

ePrints UK Harvesting Providing simple national search services Added value services

International search of OAI compliant repositories (not just research publications)

Next steps - building services for repositories Act of creating a database anticipates future preservation decisions Gained valuable experience with new problems in TARDis project and e-Prints Soton but shared services useful for common problems PRESERV (PReservation EPrint Services) - part of £1m UK JISC funding for Supporting Digital Preservation and Asset Management in Institutions announced 27 th October 2004 partnering with National Archives (File Format Registry PRONOM) British Library – potential shared national preservation service Oxford – test archive along with e-Prints Soton Expertise of recently launched Digital Curation Centre also available A UK-based centre to support expertise and practice in data curation and digital preservation across communities of practice

Developing complexity National Oceanography Centre, Southampton Will contribute to Southampton Research Repository UK NERC repositories Global Marine Science repositories Similar problems evolving in other disciplines eg ESRC, Economics – see new JISC research programme!

Just announced: Digital Repositories Programme Aims and objectives: The JISC is bringing together a programme of work relating to digital repositories….extending the work of the FAIR programme etc. Its aim is to bring together people and practices from across various domains (research, learning, information services, institutional policy, management and administration, records management, and so on) to ensure the maximum degree of coordination in the development of digital repositories, in terms of their technical and social (including business) aspects. Soton is part of several of these Linking data, e-learning, personal repositories, versions, statistics….………

The Scholarly Knowledge Cycle – the whole picture Liz Lyon, L. : eBank UK - linking research data, scholarly communications and learning
