3. 1. Brief WRRO refresher 2. Three common reactions from researchers 3. Stats 4. Communications 5. Research Information Systems

4. White Rose Research Online  Repository – online database of research papers Repository – online database of research papers  Where possible, made freely available to all  All research staff at Leeds, Sheffield and York can deposit  “RAE” type – REF type content: Peer-reviewed, give-away literature ordinarily behind a subscription barrier Books  (White Rose Etheses Online)

5. Who?  All of us!  Steering Group: Bo Middleton, Denise Harrison, Elizabeth Harbord  Advocacy Group: Jane Saunders, Marion Tattersall, Karen Smith  WRRO staff: Rachel Proudfoot, Archana Sharma- Oates  Leeds: Jodie Double, John Salter, Gemma Storr  Sheffield: Anthea Tucker  York: Lucy Jaques

6. Open Access Routes  “Gold route”: open access publishing  Hybrid journals: publishers have their cake and eat it!  “Green route”: self-archiving

7. Scenario handout What issues are raised by the academics’ reaction? How would you respond?

8. “ I signed away my copyright to Massive Publishing Inc. There’s no way I can deposit. I don’t want to get sued.”

9.  Just because you signed your copyright away, don’t assume you can’t self-archive  (Just because you kept your copyright, don’t assume you can do what the heck you want!)  http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/ http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/ (What are the key publishers in your area?)  Nothing goes live straight away  Seek permission  Manage risk  Reassurance: if in doubt, deposit anyway

10. “I’m sure this repository thing is all very laudable but I’m busy. I’ve got links to my publications on my web site, you can just take them and do whatever you want with them. Though, to be honest, I can’t see anyone going to this White Rose site to read stuff.”

11.  Scalability  Is there anyone in the department who can help?  What versions are on the web site?  How can we get their new publications?  Adding an individual record is very quick (a few minutes)  Usage statistics  Personal pages often have dead links  Will this problem be solved by Research Information Systems?  Misunderstanding – how WRRO accessed.

12. “Oh, so the copy in the WR repository isn’t the same as the one in the journal? I’m not sure I like that idea. Anyway, my research is very specialised – everyone who needs to read it already can.”

13.  Assumption that all potential readers can access  Is some access better than no access?  Front page – clarifies version to the end user  Include DOI / link to published copy  Funders: AHRC: “ ensure deposit of a copy of any resultant articles published in journals or conference proceedings in an appropriate repository“ “[respect] current copyright and licensing policies”

14. Statistics  Authors love stats!  IRS monthly download for the entire repository and at the individual paper/thesis level, visitors list the top ten papers/theses, top ten university domains, keywords with full text download traffic from search engines and other sites downloads from particular countries
