Back in July, the Names project asked for your help in completing a survey
on names-related activities and issues in UK institutional repositories. At
the same time, we were asking for feedback on the project from its Expert
Panel. The information we gathered from these two exercises have been
combined into one Stakeholder Feedback report, which is now available from
the Names website at
http://names.mimas.ac.uk/documents/Names_stakeholder_feedback_2010.pdf.
The analysis of the feedback from the repository managers' survey starts on
page 13.
* Over three-quarters of respondents reported problems relating to the
identification of authors
* Two-thirds thought that names-related services such as bulk
de-duplication, disambiguation would be either useful or very useful.
* A quarter of respondents indicated a willingness (in principle) to pay for
one or more such services
Thanks to everyone who took the time to fill in the survey.
