Tomas - at the moment the depositing is done by administrative staff, though in the near future the plan is to have the researchers do it themselves (I will be interested to see how the compliance rate is affected). I suspect what we'll do is phase in the new workflow rather than go "cold turkey"; i.e encourage self-depositing while still offering to do it for them for a period of time.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I have a question on your institutional workflow: are your deposits being done mainly by the researchers themselves or by administrative staff on their behalf?
Other institutions with mandates are welcome to answer this question too.
Best regards,
Tomas Lundén.

At my organization, publications lists used for promotion cases are generated from the repository. Therefore it's in the author's best interest to deposit their publications, and as a result we have close to 100% compliance.

Thank you for posting this information about the need for mandates. But I am wondering about the emphasis on mandating deposit. It seems that in our enthusiasm for securing a mandate at our institutions we neglect the other half of these policies; i.e., how is compliance to be monitored, and most importantly, how enforced? It would be useful if other institutions with mandates could share their solutions to these issues.
many thanks
Stephanie
