Hi everyone,

This post came through from the Research Support list but I think that the question may be relevant for members of this list as well.

Best regards,
Joy

Subject: A repository and a CRIS? Or is only one needed?

Dear all,

Anyone who was at the JIBs event on Research Evaluation last week might
remember a question about whether institutions needed both a repository
and a CRIS, or only one of them. I've just seen an enquiry on the UKCoRR
list which brought this to my mind again. I've copied the text below,
anonymised. 

I believe that it helps if you can separate out the aims of 1)
preservation and showcasing of full text  and 2) recording your
institution's work, and that having different software packages might
help you to do this. However, I'm pretty sure that technical folks can
find ways to meet the separate aims behind the scenes even if you only
have one software solution, or conversely, of making the two separate
software packages appear to most users as only one which is necessary if
you want your authors to only need to record and upload stuff once, in
one place. 

I think that what we need are some clever, dedicated technical folks and
people who really understand what your institution is trying to achieve
against the two different aims I've described, who are able to balance
and meet these aims to work with those guys with the technical skills to
make it happen.

Do others on this list have a perspective on this theme?

Best wishes,

Jenny

" Google Scholar has told us that in order to register our institutional
repository with them it needs to have abstracts and / or full text
available in 100% of the repository records - this seems an ambitious
target. I would like to here from anyone who has tried to or is
registered with Google Scholar. Are there hints and tips for getting
registered? Have others been unable to comply? All feedback very welcome
as we are trying to put in place a strategy for registration."
