** Apologies for cross-posting **
Many UK institutions will be in receipt of funding from the European Commission
as part of the Seventh Research Framework Programme
(FP7)<http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/home_en.html>. Publications in any of seven
pilot areas<http://crc.nottingham.ac.uk/projects/openaire/> of research must be
made available as Open Access in either institutional or subject repositories
and the OpenAIRE project aims to harvest content from repositories into a
central portal. OpenAIRE has issued guidance that repositories should meet on
order to support this harvesting. In addition, it has established a repository
facility for researchers who do not have access to a compliant institutional or
discipline-specific repository.
The Repositories Support Project has developed a briefing paper to support the
UK repository community in implementing the OpenAIRE guidance. It summarises
the OpenAIRE
guidelines<http://www.openaire.eu/en/component/content/article/207> and
provides technical information to enable DSpace and EPrints users to ensure
their repositories are compliant. The RSP has also developed an add-on for
EPrints which has been tested by the community. For DSpace, the RSP points to
general guidance produced by FECYT in Spain and an add-on developed by the
Portuguese RCAAP projects.
The briefing paper is available here
