Colleagues on the OA Good Practice list, You might have seen this update from Paul Walk last week to the jisc-repositories list. RIOXX is a metadata profile that UK institutional repositories can use. There are a few reasons why Jisc has make RIOXX available and encourages its adoption, eg associated with RCUK and REF policies, and we're considering further action that Jisc can take to assist universities in this. So, if your institutional repository is not yet fully using RIOXX, then it would be helpful to know whether that's because, eg: 1. the direct, immediate benefits to your university are not sufficiently clear or compelling 2. you have not been able to get local technical support to implement RIOXX 3. local technical expertise to implement RIOXX does not exist in your institution 4. you are waiting for a third party to update a hosted instance of your repository 5. the third party host for your repository intends to charge a fee to implement RIOXX 6. it is not clear where data would come from to populate the RIOXX fields 7. it is clear where the data would come from to populate the RIOXX fields, but that's a big change in workflow / systems 8. you are waiting for some other reason It would be really helpful if, either on this list or by email to me personally, you could let me know which, if any, of these applies for your repository. As is usual when asking for information in this way, I will summarise the findings back to the list, and will do that in a couple of weeks to give everyone a chance to comment. Many thanks Neil -----Original Message----- From: Repositories discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Paul Walk Sent: 04 June 2015 09:35 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: adoption of RIOXX 2.0 so far... In case people are interested in this, I run an occasional harvest across repositories in the UK which declare support for RIOXX 2.0, take a sample of the first 10 records from each of these, and run two checks on each record: 1. a check for basic RIOXX 2.0 compliance according to the rules at http://rioxx.net/rioxx_basic_v2-0/ 2. a check for compliance with the full RCUK requirements as described at http://rioxx.net/v2-0-final/ The outputs of these checks are summarised in a table here: http://rioxx.net/implementation/ You can drill down into these results for more detail. Kudos to Glasgow University for achieving 90-100% compliance on the basic RIOXX 2.0 check! Still waiting to see a valid RIOXX record which completely satisfies the RCUK requirements. Who will be first...?
