What do authors want to know
•
•
•
•
What do I have to do?
Are there restrictions on my publication route?
How can I deal with this as quickly as possible?
Where can I get help?
• Mandates, repositories, open access, copyright - it all has
to fit into this . . .
What do funders require?
• Open Access to research results as a condition of
funding
• Deposit in a particular repository
and/or
• Deposit in the institutional repository
and/or
• Publication in an Open Access Journal
Impact for institutions
•
•
•
•
•
Response necessary as a requirement of grant

Incentive for more closely integrated knowledge
management
How to respond
• Who is currently aware of these requirements?
• What current structures and processes are in place?
• What level of compliance is currently attained?
Integration
•
•
•
•
Into workflows
Institutional systems must share data
“Owners” of these systems must collaborate
Policies must have be aligned with institutional
strategy, have purpose, support and consequences
• Authors must be given services that support their
needs and fit within their existing work-flows are far
as possible
What do we need to do?
•
•
•
•
•
•
Compliance and support are complimentary
Collaborate on support given to authors
Integrate with funders’ requirements
Create systems for monitoring compliance
Establish major senior support for mandate
“ The system” to provide consistent, authoritative
information from all stakeholders at point of need
• Use infrastructure of repositories to benefit authors,
researchers, institutions and funders
