Organisations

Support of scholarly communication is becoming more formalised.

Below are links to some examples of organisations.

Repository Support

African DSpace Support

This is a discussion list to discuss, communicate, share information on all open access and institutional repositories related issues in Africa and South Africa.

International DSpace Support

Before posting a request, please see: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette first.

International Open Access Discussion

http://mailman.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/goal

The Global Open Access List (GOAL) is the successor of the American Scientist Open Access (AmSci) Forum, which was the first Open Access Forum, begun in 1998 and hosted for 13 years (1998-2011) by Sigma Xi. http://amsci-forum.amsci.org/archives/American-Scientist-Open-Access-Forum.html

Open Access is no longer just an American or a Scientific Matter. It is a global movement with the goal of making all 2.5 million articles published annually in the planet's 25,000 peer-reviewed journals -- in all scholarly and scientific fields, and in all languages -- freely accessible online to anyone on the Web.

GOAL is accordingly dedicated to the discussion of Open Access practice and policy-making by the worldwide research community (in no order: researchers, universities, research institutions, research funding agencies, governmental research policy-makers and commercial entities) with the aim of enabling concrete, practical steps to be taken to achieve Open Access. Chief among these goals are techniques for increasing the amount of Open Access, as well as metrics of research usage and impact.

Cloud Providers

If you do not presently have the technical infrastructure and expertise to host your own repository on campus, then have a look at a cloud solution.

WARNING

  • It is always better to have possession of your own digital files (bitstreams) on a server on your campus, and therefore be able to control your own costs, rather than be at the mercy of a cloud provider.
  • The continued use of a cloud service may result in a "repository cloud hosting crisis" the same as the "serials bundle crisis".
  • If you choose or have chosen this route, then check very carefully, the service contract to ensure that you can export your digital assets and associated metadata, at any time, even if you have failed to meet any financial obligations for the contracted service.

Repository Examples

Below are links to repositories that have started to take a system approach to repository management by supplying a help wiki and a news blog. In addition they have short clean memorable URL's. Unfortunately policies have yet to be published.

Below are links to repositories used for digital collections.
