“Jisc Publications Router – Delivering Open Access Content to Institutions” Workshop 31^st July 2014

 

Audience: UK Repository Managers and Research Managers.

 

There will an opportunity at the Repository Fringe 2014 to participate in a workshop for the Jisc Publications Router (Formerly Repository Junction Broker) http://broker.edina.ac.uk/

 

Further to recent HEFCE REF OA requirements, Jisc has initiated work to scope how the Jisc Publications Router could support the supply of the Authors’ Accepted Manuscripts (AAMs), at the point of acceptance, from publishers to institutions. A survey has been sent to UKCoRR, SCONUL and ARMA to find out how institutions want to receive AAMs and Jisc is also speaking to publishers to find out how they could supply this content. http://scholarlycommunications.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2014/06/22/authors-accepted-manuscripts-from-publishers/

 

We encourage you to register for the Repository Fringe and attend this session: : http://www.eventbrite.com/e/repository-fringe-2014-tickets-11006086501?aff=eac2

 

It will be an opportunity to:

 

·         See preliminary results of the survey.

·         Hear about progress on discussions with publishers.

·         Discuss the barriers and issues.

·         Refine requirements.

·         Define what the service looks like in the future.
