2. The Current Situation
Development & implementation of IRs are spreading rapidly in
Universities
University colleges
Research Centers
etc.
But ….

3. 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. 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)

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

When more stakeholders enter the scene new needs and demands are emerging

7. Internal stakeholders:
Authors, departments, faculties
Research management
Information department
Legal department
Archive
Library

8. 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

9. Professionalization
When IR move upwards on the institutional agenda certain issues become more important:
Costs,
Efficiency,
Accountability,
Sustainability
Push towards Professionalization!

10. External stakeholders
Research funders demand
Quality
Figures
Metrics
Potential service providers want
Uniformity

11. 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

12. Traditional publishing
Standards/Definitions/Formats:
Journals
Articles

15. 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

19. Experiences Working with OpenDOAR: ”Quality” of IRs is very varied
”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

20. 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!!

21. 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

22. 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

23. 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

24. 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

25. Catching up The agenda for IRs: Filling the IRs: Professionalization:
Advocacy
Workflows
Figures
Professionalization:
Standards

26. 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.)!

27. Cooperation & Networking
Both
A prerequisite for developing the next generation of IRs
And
A result of the development of the next generation of IRs
