It can be hard to motivate researchers to spend the necessary time to
fill out forms containing the bibiographic metadata for their papers
in order to submit material to an open access repository. However, most academics can see the need for maintaining a professional personal web page
listing their publications.
The EM-Loader project (http://publicationslist.org/em-loader) reduces the effor

Digital Open Educational Resources we create are assets (full texts, rich media, learning objects, etc.) with values that can persist far into the future. Without ongoing maintenance, these assets will fall into disrepair. The Swiss academic community has so far eluded such OER long-term archival issues. Accumulating digital resources and assigning them persistent identifiers (URN) without thinkin

The ESCAPE-project aims at extending the existing infrastructure of repositories of scientific publications in such a way that it will be possible to identify, describe, preserve and present aggregations of related objects (documents, videos, datasets, etc.), not necessarily produced by an individual author or group of authors.
To this end a repository for OAI-ORE resource maps will be developed

In nearest years many OA repositories (OARs) owners in Europe will be involved into connecting their isolated repositories with a universal research e-infrastructure (e.g. as a part of European Research Area activities). In the Socionet project (http://socionet.ru/, started 10 years ago as a RePEc mirror in Russia) we are integrating local institutional OARs (at metadata level) into common informa

Although scientific publications know no national boundaries, it can still be useful to set up a national or subject-specific repository portal to serve local communities’ needs. For example, funding schemes and research assessments are often executed on a national level, or national universities might want to collaborate to boost the country’s international visibility. National repository po
