• Government Policy• David Willets: UK government “will make publicly funded research accessible
free of charge to readers. Giving people the right to roam freely over publicly funded research will usher in a new era of academic discovery and collaboration, and will put the UK at the forefront of open research.”
• Neelie Kroes (EC): 48 billion Euros for FP7 projects conditional on OA publication in lead-up to horizon 2020 (PEER and Nordbib, June 2012)
• Finch Report – Gold OA recommended route to Open Access
• Funder Mandates• RCUK write to University VCs in July mandating use of RoS and instructing to
use RIOXX guidelines for funder info
• Publisher Practises• PEER end of project report - Large-scale EC-funded project (€4.2 million, 3
year, 9 months) to model impact of Green OA on STM publishers • Green OA has positive impact on publisher downloads, Gold OA is preferred
business model
Context
Open Repositories 2012 15
• Gold OA Payment Mechanisms• Currently do not exist – will be barrier to implementing Gold OA• Cannot be entrusted to publishers• Must be run by trusted middleware broker supported by UK/European FE

• Research Data Sets• Included within RIOXX guidelines, focus of Nordbib conference• Mandated by NERC, ESPRC• Future first step to create a registry of data sets
• OpenAIRE co-operation• Projected MoU with RepNet as first step• Very interested in more closely integrated set of RepNet Wave 1 for
DRIVER• Interest in co-operation on Gold OA, Data sets Registry
Scope - 2
Open Repositories 2012 17
• Optimising wave 1 components• SIPG executing business proposals• Closer integration of existing services within data-driven infrastructure• Comprehensive set of tools: Publisher, funder policies; deposit tools;
reporting, impact analysis tools
• Wave 2 service components - process• Curation micro-services – in contact with U3C DCC• JISC RI Call, JISC Elevator• OR12 workshop• OARR tender• Search consultancy • Advisory Board input

• Improving Metadata• Bringing in DOIs from CrossRef• Data-mining metadata from PDFs (Uni Novi Sad)• OpenAIRE tools (GROBIT)
Wave 2 Candidates - current
Done by IR software tools
Open Repositories 2012 23
• Wave 1 of RepNet provides an excellent service to support Green and Gold Open Access
• Full range of deposit, reporting and policy tools in place• Will justify JISC’s investment in IR infrastructure• Move to data-driven infrastructure and closer integration• Wave 2 to focus on micro-services• Sustainability plan in progress to support transition from
project to service in March 2013
