A version of the item freely available at the point of use ◦ Green Open Access Alongside traditional publishing, a copy of a version of the publication is made freely available in an Open Access Repository (subject to Publisher Policies) “Self-archiving” ◦ Gold Open Access Pay the publisher to make the Published version of the paper free to end users Open Access or Hybrid Journals ◦ Increased visibility and availability of Open Access research outputs maximises research impact and increases citations Citation advantage varies from 25% - 250% by discipline and year
STORRE: Stirling Online Research Repository The University’s Open Access Institutional Repository For making copies of Research Outputs of University staff freely available on the web – Green OA ◦ Aim : ◦ Promote University of Stirling research ◦ Make our research more widely and easily available Publication record in STORRE includes: ◦ Persistent URL (Handle), Full Citation, DOI (link), Other link(s) to Publisher version, Licence ◦ Link to Full Text/Request a copy University Policy requires all Journal Articles to be submitted to repository after acceptance for publication
Stirling’s new Research Management System ◦ Web based system for Managing and Recording Research Activities and Outputs of University’s Research Staff ◦ Supports entire research life-cycle ◦ Links (different types of) data together ◦ Data used to generate CVs, populate RMS Public Web pages and Internal/Exporting Reporting Accessed via the Portal ◦ “Working at Stirling” and “Research” tabs ◦ Public Web: Pre-populated with a range of legacy data ◦ Individual Researchers are responsible for ensuring all their information is complete and accurate RMS and STORRE are tightly integrated ◦ RMS is now primary place for Publication data entry and management
Major function of RMS is a Publication Database ◦ Bibliographic data for all Publications by Stirling’s Researchers ◦ Publication Records have fields to indicate: If article has been published in Gold OA Journal or OA in a Hybrid Journal Amount paid in OA charges And link to Publisher (OA) version Via DOI and explicit URL
Full-text of Author’s final version post refereeing can be attached to RMS record for export STORRE
Library staff validate and supplement bibliographic metadata If full text attached for Green OA via STORRE, Repository Librarian will: ◦ Check Publisher’s OA policy via SHERPA Romeo: Green OA permitted, version, rights statements, publisher links, embargo requirements... ◦ Set embargo dates in RMS Permanent embargo used where Publisher Policy does not allow Green OA
Green OA Publications automatically exported from RMS to STORRE on a nightly basis Embargoes handled automatically in STORRE Bibliographic record freely available but no direct link to Full Text file “Request a copy” facilitates end user access to Full Text during embargo (permitted under “Fair dealing” copyright exemption) Full text automatically becomes freely available at end of embargo period
RMS Public Web ◦ RMS Public Web pages provide general access to all (public) information on the University’s: Researchers, Projects, Publications, Research Areas, Organisational Units ◦ Publication information on Public Web includes: Links to Green OA version in STORRE Links to Publisher version May or may not be Gold OA STORRE ◦ STORRE content indexed in: Google/Google Scholar Cross repository search services (via OAI-PMH)
RMS data will be used to report on Open Access (both Green and Gold) ◦ Including reporting on Policy Compliance University Policy HEFCE/REF... RMS has ability for you to link Publications to Contracts ◦ Will facilitate external reporting Research Outcomes RCUK (and other Funders with OA policies) Therefore important to ensure: ◦ All Publications [and Gold OA information] in RMS ◦ Full text attached for deposit in STORRE ◦ Publications linked to Contracts
Once a Publication’s metadata has been validated by Library staff, Researcher can no longer edit record in RMS ◦ To add Open Access information or attach full-text, use Request Change option on Publication’s Preview screen: ◦ Or Publications can be related to your Contracts at any stage ◦ Via Contract’s“Related Activites” tab
Ensure all publication information in RMS ◦ Link Publications to Contracts Green OA! ◦ Attach full text of “Author’s final version post refereeing” to Publication record in RMS for deposit in STORRE ◦ OA Job done! Subject to Publisher Policies and possibly Licensing issues Gold OA? ◦ Add details to Publication record in RMS
