This announcement may be of interest to list members. -----Original Message----- From: Repositories discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Alma Swan Sent: 25 November 2011 09:22 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: EPrints REF2014 plugin *Apologies for cross-posting* The newly-developed REF2014 plugin for the widely-used EPrints repository software is entering its live testing phase. Five universities that currently have their repositories hosted by EPrints Services will be participating in the testing process. The goal is to release the REF2014 plugin next February and it will be available free of charge. On behalf of EPrints Services, Sheridan Brown said "The development of this new plugin demonstrates the team's continuing desire to add value to the core EPrints software in response to the needs of the user community." The plugin provides the functionality that repositories need to comply with requirements of the UK's Research Excellence Framework exercise. "It has been developed for a UK-specific purpose, but it reflects the flexibility of the EPrints software and the readiness of the development team to continue to strive to make repositories a valuable strategic tool for institutions," says Sheridan.
