Hello Satu,
I assume that the purpose of hosting citations of all publications by Bradfod's academic staff is for research monitoring/management. A research monitoring form could be designed in conjunction with "Researcher page" on Dspace where access is restricted to relevant staff (e.g. research office, vice chancellor). You may also want to consider Symplectic's software (http://www.symplectic.co.uk/) for research monitoring where the records (publications' metadata) can be extracted to Dspace. This would help repository staff to pursue academics for the full text.
Regards,

I think you really need a a Current Research Information System (CRIS)
linking to your repository.
A CRIS can record the metadata for all publications incl. citations, (as
well as other relevant items such as projects, organisations, CV info
etc). If the full text exists in your repository (or may be a differnet
subject repository), then the CRIS can link to it i.e you only need to
worry about the records you can get full text for .. the CRIS gives the
full publication metadata.
