Dear All: FYI, dicari penggiat-penggiat OA di Indonesia, sehingga memudahlan pelajar, mahasiswa, peneliti dan orang wawam untuk memperoleh akses ke Hasil penelitian yang update. - ibp ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: John Murtagh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Dec 19, 2006 9:10 PM Subject: Self-Archiving Permissions To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello all Thought I'd post this dialogue between myself and Mark Merrifield of BioMed, which concerns self-archiving, self-archivers, archiving permissions and researcher pages on institutional repositories... Thought it might be of use to someone if on the record. Best Wishes and Merry Christmas! _______________________________________________ John Murtagh Project Manager - Brunel University Research Archive Brunel Library Kingston Road Uxbridge UB8 3PH Tel: 0189 526 5417 Fax: 01895269741 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/ PPlease don't print this e-mail unless you really need to. ________________________________ From: John Murtagh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 December 2006 11:35 To: Mark Merifield Subject: RE: [Dspace-general] Submitting Permissions Mark! Thanks very much for this information. When I asked about what permissions are given to users I was thinking of self-archiving by researchers themselves. This seems to be the best way to go and I'm happy that my thoughts have been shared by Prof. Arthur Sale; if I may cut n paste... "It is useless to look at growth rates of documents in the repository without taking their publication and deposit dates into account. The evidence shows that many 'converted' depositors busy themselves with mounting all their old papers. This is not to be discouraged and makes repository managers think they are achieving something, but it is not a significant performance indicator. The only important performance indicator is 'How much of your institution's annual research output appears in your repository by (say) 6 months after year end?' "The Patchwork Mandate" Working Paper by Arthur Sale, University Of Tasmania, 11 November 2006, Revised 12 Nov 2006 http://eprints.utas.edu.au/410/01/Policies_for_Repository_Managers.pdf So, I'm trying to get depositing of current research, so I want as many self-archivers as possible on BURA. Part of this strategy would be designating School administrators to the collections in order to monitor what people are putting on BURA, check metadata etc. I was after more info on what people were doing with regards to this, workflow submissions, metadata checking, what permissions were given to academics if any. You were the only response I I've had but it seems from what you've told me mediated submission is what people are doing, understandable but not strictly self-archiving. The other info is interesting though, the practicalities of setting up Researcher pages. I shall be using that info in any papers I put together for our own Researcher Pages ideas.

I remember I'd said I'd send you some information about how researcher pages are being used. However, firstly, in response to the question you posed below I can say the majority of our customers are using mediated submissions for at least within their first year or two. It's hard for us to say too much about what they do since we're not really involved in their administration other than when asked. When individual submissions are being made then it looks as if this is being done by individuals asking the repo admins if they can become involved. As far as I can tell the mediated submissions are being used as a way of controlling what goes in and keeping the metadata consistent. Most of the admin teams number between two and four with all individuals working on a part time basis. Hope that helps somewhat. As far as the researcher pages go then no-one is really using them for the time being other than test samples. Possibly because there's so much mediated submission then researchers don't yet feel the need to use them or they're just not being promoted well enough. I've found only a couple of examples: http://landspitali.openrepository.com/lsh/researcher?action=viewResearch erPage&researcherId=509 http://landspitali.openrepository.com/lsh/researcher?action=viewResearch erPage&researcherId=504 http://landspitali.openrepository.com/lsh/researcher?action=viewResearch erPage&researcherId=382 If nothing else they do prove that there's a good sense of humour in Iceland! I think one of the great problems with the researcher pages code is the way everything is linked. To assign a researcher page to a registered user you need to use their registered email address which is what you do when you first create the page (as an admin). However, this does not assign the page to the browse authors list from where it would be displayed. That has to be done by editing the page from the admin menu and assigning a unique author name as well (also done by the administrator). This has to be identical to the way in which the name is displayed within the author browse menu (and therefore how it is entered during the submission form. The issue there is that if a researcher has multiple versions of their name entered across various submissions then they're only going to appear against the name listed on their researcher page. What the system needs is a way of defining institutional authors (presumably against email or I suppose it could be some form of ID) and linking those who have differing naming conventions so the correct pages link to the correct authors or so that there is some conformity of naming throughout the repo. We've also been asked about allowing administrators being given permission for full editing of researcher pages and for automatic addition of newly submitted content to the pages. We have thought that this is the right direction to be moving in but for now we're settling into working on the 1.4.1 upgrade so I don't think we'll be looking at the pages in any further detail until the new year. I don't know if this has been the kind of information you were looking for but if not, let me know and I'll get some more concrete answers or thoughts together for you.

Here at Brunel University we are using version 1.3.2. for the moment. Can people tell me what kind of persmission controls they are using for academics and administrators to use DSpace to submit items? The "why" would also be of some help! There is obviously quite a lot of options, but we wanted to see from experience what people were using. Thanks in advance John Murtagh ________________________________________________ John Murtagh Project Manager - Brunel University Research Archive Brunel Library Kingston Road Uxbridge UB8 3PH Tel: 0189 526 5417 Fax: 01895 269741 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/ PPlease don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
