University Statement – April 2006 “Glasgow University, as a signatory of the Scottish Open Access Declaration, strongly encourages authors at Glasgow University to deposit copies of their published work into the University's Institutional Repository……….The Repository is a freely available database which anyone in the world can access and is intended to be a showcase of the research undertaken at the University.” http://www.lib.gla.ac.uk/enlighten/statement.html

  16. Embedding and Repository Questions • How joined up/embedded is your [Research] repository? • Who are your partners? • What are your barriers? • Do you have an “institutional repository” or a repository at your institution?

  30. MiniREF Lessons • Your publications data can never be comprehensive enough in advance of an exercise like this • Ensure you are ready to deal with the volume of queries, updates and additional publications which the exercise will elicit • Administration features including the opportunity to "impersonate" users (to update records on their behalf) and to run various reports are absolutely vital for managing returns and gauging progress • Learn lessons, take onboard feedback and be flexible/nimble enough to make changes to the system and workflows

  31. Using publications data for research management • University now has comprehensive record of its publications • Senior management interest in re-using and analysing this data • Publication lists pulled from Enlighten to pre-populate Professorial Performance and Development Review forms • Comparison of University’s publications with ERA (Excellence in Research for Australia) journal rankings list
