Reading’s research outputs online.
Project description
The project aims to facilitate the creation and population of an institutional repository for the entire University. The content will be the bibliographic metadata for all published research outputs from 2010, and the full text, or equivalent multimedia format, wherever possible.
The core objective is to develop a mechanism for recording publications data that will become an essential part of the University’s system for managing the submissions to the forthcoming REF.
Key outcomes will be:
• Increased visibility of and access to the University’s published research outputs
• A central record of publications data that can be used for multiple purposes within the institution
• A permanently established institutional repository that is embedded into the University’s research management processes
Adjacent to the creation of the repository, the project includes the cleansing of and migration to the repository of legacy metadata, 2003-9.
