Jisc Monitor is a one-year project which started in May 2014, with the aim to explore how a Jisc managed shared service might support institutions in meeting HEFCE’s policy on Open Access for the Post-2014 REF. The project is scoping and building proof of concept prototypes to respond to specific use cases. Prototypes will be used to assess the feasibility of developing a service, to scope that service if there is a clearly articulated need for one and to identify priorities for the service.  As such, these webinars are our continuing engagement with key stakeholders, to encourage participation and collaboration in order to explore design and development of a service for HEI.   The four use-cases include:

 

•             Monitoring all publication activity to ensure compliance with funder mandates

•             Monitoring publication activity to understand what has been published

•             Monitoring spend, and

•             Standards development to enable efficient data exchange.

 

In addition, here is a link to the Jisc Monitor blog, which covers in some detail the developments around Jisc Monitor: http://jiscmonitor.jiscinvolve.org/wp/

 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

 

Thank you.

 

All the best,

Frank
