10. The Value to Repository Managers
- what’s in it for me?

11. The 4 challenges for IRs: Deposit; Discover; Report; Disseminate
Deposit • How to increase deposit rates into IRs, particularly full-text?
• How to address publisher/funder OA policies at time of deposit
and impact on definition of item copyright and access levels?
Discover • How to improve repository content indexing rates for
Google/Google Scholar?
• What means to measure and improve these?
• Faceted search functionality for researchers/reporting?
Report • How can IRs address institutional and funder reporting
requirements for OA policy?
• How can IRs co-exist with HEI CRIS systems? [1]
Disseminate • How to establish best practise with peers?
• How to measure KPIs against peers?
• How to establish IR’s value within HEI?
[1] there is a clear trend to making CERIF and CRISs the default standards for provision and
exchange of research information. The transition to this model may affect demand over time for
RepNet services. One of the RIOXX specific objectives is to “develop these [recommendations]
such that they pave the way for a likely CERIF-based solution in the medium-long term”

12. How challenges are addressed by RepNet
Deposit • Automated deposit from funder and subject repositories,
publishers into IRs via R-J Broker
• Publisher and funder policies from RoMEO and JULIET
• Further automation of R-J Broker through rules derived from R/J
Discover • UK-wide aggregation to collate IR metadata and expose
OAI-PMH as tagged files for indexing
• Measure discoverability as download stats via IRUS
Report • Metadata enhancement through RIOXX, V4OA
• Enrichment through feeds from CrossRef (DOI), Fundref
(Funder, project ID), IRIOS/UKRISS (output linked to funder info)
• Report on mandate compliance through to research impact via
service built on aggregation
Disseminate • IR-focussed events through RSP, UKCoRR, COAR
• IRUS, OARR for providing benchmarking
• Improved project-based reporting; interoperability with CRIS
through CERIF; RepNet as observatory for IR-CRIS transition
