Dear All, I have a general query regarding funder requirements that stipulate deposit into a centralised or subject based repository such as PubMed Central. Is anybody meeting such a requirement by developing processes that incorporate the institutional repository as the primary point of ingest and subsequently uploading content to the centralised service? I'm particularly interested in two aspects of this question. Firstly, how an institutional policy supporting the home repository does not find itself at variance with funder deposit policies that specify a preference for locus of deposit external to the institution. Secondly, what is critical to the home and centralised repositories in terms of service design in any such collaboration.
