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...

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...

DRIVER I project drew up a detailed report of European repositories based on data gathered in a survey in which Spain's participation was very low. Of the 12 institutional repositories registered in the Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) in the sample period (June 2006 to February 2007), only three responded. This meant that Spain presented a completely false image of the...

In Switzerland, institutional repositories (IRs) have largely spread in academic and research organisations, where they provide services to faculty, researchers, and administrators by bringing together and archiving the intellectual output of their institutions.
In many ways, the Swiss IRs are heterogeneous : some are precursors (« Infoscience » at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne),...

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...

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...

University rankings and league tables, although controversial, always attract much attention from the institutions themselves and those affiliated, as well as other stakeholders. There has been criticism that the Shanghai Jiaotong ARWU ranking and the Times Higher Education Supplement rankings promote a certain vision of the university to the detriment of all others, but they are far from the...
