Scholarly Communication- what do we mean?
Scope of the term is wider than "scholarly publishing" and covers the authoring, publishing (in a broad sense), and reading of information produced by members of the academic community for teaching or research. "Information" in this context may be in a variety of formats. (CURL/SCONUL definition)
Stakeholders usually defined simply asAuthors + Publishers + Librarians + Readers
Other stakeholders not usually included in the debate This needs to change
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
Definition
Scholarly Communication encompasses everything that researchers, teachers and learners need in order to be effective – and this makes Repositories important
New definition The authoring, publishing, dissemination, and reading of
information produced for teaching, learning or research in whatever format,
with the tools, measures and systems needed to provide access to and store these materials in perpetuity
It is an inclusive definition – of both partners and processes

RIOJA
RIOJA – funded by JISC Capital Programme (April 2006) Repository Interface for Overlaid Journal Archives Academic-led project
UCL University of Cambridge University of Glasgow Imperial College London Cornell University
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
Deliverables
RIOJA tool to support automated interactions between journals and open access repositories
Demonstrator Journal in Astrophysics and Cosmology Using Cornell University's open source DPubS software Interfacing with and overlaid on the arXiv subject repository Content of the demonstrator journal will be test papers Submitted to and housed on the arXiv server Illustrate the use of the RIOJA tool to facilitate the overlay of peer
review onto repository content
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
And…
RIOJA Will explore social and economic aspects of building certification onto
repositories in support of the creation of overlay journals Carry out a survey of researchers from the field of Astrophysics and
Cosmology Aim to deliver a continuation plan for the demonstrator journal, founded on
a cost-recovery business model tested on the Astrophysics and Cosmology community
RIOJA has strong academic support Impetus for the RIOJA project comes directly from academic users of the
arXiv subject repository

LIFE – Preservation and Digital Curation Findings
LIFE has developed a Generic Preservation Model for costing digital curation at an item level
Preservation = Technology watch + Preservation frequency * Overall preservation action
Preservation = t * TEW + (t / ULE + PON) * (CRS + UME + PPA + QAA)
Worked out by look at BL’s VDEP, Web Archiving Project and UCL’s E-Journals service
Fits into formula for identifying whole lifecycle costs over time: LT=Aq+IT+MT+AcT+ST+PT

LIFE Phase 2
Has been funded by the JISC Will look at
Firming up the economic modelling in partnership with an academic economist
Will work up more Case Studies to test the modelsRepositories are two such Case StudiesLooking at the SHERPA-LEAP and SHERPA-DP

Conclusions
Scholarly Communication represents a revolution in the way researchers and students disseminate and use information
There are gaps in the knowledge base which hamper our ability to assess the impact and importance of new dissemination models
Overlay Journals represent an opportunity to marry Open Access Journals with Open Access Repositories
Digital Curation will ensure the long-term preservation of digital assets in Repositories, and the costs are becoming clearer
The most important asset is YOU, because YOU can effect change
