20. SPARC, Baltimore, 17/18 Nov 2008 20 DRIVER Software and Infrastructure Deployment Possible deployment use cases, examples: Countries, communities or organisations using the existing DRIVER instance, e.g. by customising the portal (example: RECOLECTA, Spain) Countries running an additional, independent instance of a DRIVER infrastructure National aggregators or local repositories using the DRIVER Validator Tool Current challenge to the DRIVER Consortium –Limited capacity for technical support

23. SPARC, Baltimore, 17/18 Nov 2008 How does DRIVER relate to national repository communities? National communities are usually represented by country correspondents –One institution or a group of institutions takes responsibility to build a national repository community (like DARENet-NL, SHERPA-UK, OA-Netzwerk-GE, RECOLECTA-ES, HAL-FR) Country correspondents … –Maintain the national repository information on the DRIVER Wiki –Organise repository events in their countries –Translate repository guidelines and other relevant information into national languages –Build up national data aggregators, clean data, can offer additional services

24. SPARC, Baltimore, 17/18 Nov 2008 24

25. SPARC, Baltimore, 17/18 Nov 2008 25 How does DRIVER relate to international repository communities? DRIVER sees its mission as –Catalyst for a global repository infrastructure –Develop and maintain the European repository infrastructure node DRIVER liaises already with institutions and initiatives from the majority of European countries, the U.S., Canada, Latin America, China, Japan, India and Africa DRIVER has signed MoUs with SPARC Europe, LIBER, eIFL, Recolecta Spain, OA-Netzwerk Germany and DRF Japan

26. SPARC, Baltimore, 17/18 Nov 2008 26 Further actions needed … Lobby for Open Access mandates from all funding organisations Revise contracts with (STM) publishers – build Open Access consortia: –convert current subscription payments to subscription + institution-wide green road IR deposit permission (cf. pilot Springer Open Choice agreements) –agree on automated article transfer from the publisher to institutional repositories (European PEER project) –Develop automated metadata transfer workflows from article databases into institutional repositories (e.g PubMed > Fact Science research database) Support Open Access journal publishing Support Open Access book publishing (European OAPEN project) Develop and support new types of citation & impact measuring services Develop and provide long-term archiving services for repositories…

27. Publishing and the Ecology of European Research (PEER) EC eContentplus Vorgesehener Start: 1. September 2008 Laufzeit: 3 Jahre Partner: International STM Headoffice, ESF, Universität/SUB Göttingen, MPG/MPDL, INRIA, SURF, Universität/UB Bielefeld

28. Purpose of PEER Publishers and research community collaborate Develop an observatory to monitor the impact of systematically depositing stage-two outputs on a large scale Gather hard evidence to inform future policies

29. Depositing activities 15 major STM publishers (incl. Elsevier, Springer, Wiley etc.) Ca. 300 Journal Approx. 20,000 articles per year (~60,000 articles for the project) 50% of the articles: Publisher > Repositories 50% of the articles: Author > Repositories
