Hallo, A short while back I enquired, of the list, if anyone had any links/suggestions or resources re metrics for showing a repositories worth/benefits. I also made enquiries of the very helpful soton eprints team => >> Would you happen to know of a[ny] resource detailing easily collected >> metrics (before and after) to prove the worth/impact of a repository? > > Have a look at http://www.eprints.org/openaccess/ > > There are several links here which might be useful > (including http://opcit.eprints.org/oacitation-biblio.html). I have not yet had time to digest and understand all that is there, but it seems like a very good starting point.
