Repositories are spreading because . . .

• Give easy access
• Give rapid access
• Give long-term access
• Increase readership and use of material
• They offer advantages to academics
• They offer advantages to institutions
• They offer advantages to research funders
• They offer new ways for information to be linked
  and used

10
National development

• Research-led universities adopting research
  repositories
• extension with eTheses, data-sets, multimedia,
  etc
• Policies for development
• from research funders
• from institutions
• from departments
• National perspective for services
• of repositories, repository holdings
• for search and analysis of contents
• for UK research on the global stage

11
Repository content

• Theses
• Dissertations
• Royalty publications
• Conference papers
• Conference organisation
• Grey literature

• Preprints
• Postprints
• Datasets
• Learning objects
• Videos
• Sound files
• linkage between these objects

12
Repository use

• Access to material
• Citation analysis
• Overlay journals
• Review projects
• Evidence based work
• Data-mining
• Cross-institutional research group virtual
  research environments

• RAE-like submissions, activities and management
• Archival storage
• Shop-windows
• Facilitate industrial links
• Career-long personalised work spaces

13
Search

• Google
• Google Scholar
• MSN Search
• Yahoo
• Various commercial services and initiatives

• Oaister
• ePrints.UK
• EEVL Xtra
• DART for European eTheses
• EThOS for UK eTheses

Futures

• 10 years - what changes are coming down the track
  and what responses are needed?
• What is inside your control and what is outside?
• Irrespective of repositories, author-side
  charges, open access - what will develop?
• Developments in the web and ICT alone will
  produce substantial change . . .
• Some themes . . .

15
Journals

• Governments will not loosen the purse strings
• Subscriptions per journal will continue to
  decline
• Continued agglomeration of publishing concerns
• Smaller publishers will continue to be squeezed
  and have to react
• The big and the nimble will survive
• Editorial and peer-review process will be
  technologically mediated
• Unbundling of products, processes and services -
  with a global marketplace for service provision

16
Academics and IT

• Increasing connectivity
• Increasing demand for rapid, permanent access,
  everywhere
• Increasing demand for more information
• Increasing demand for free access
• Information per se will be more freely available
  and the links between information will become the
  valued commodity

17
Research

• Full Economic Costing and Value For Money
• Public awareness and availability
• Raised awareness of IPR issues
• Institutions being pressured to capitalise on
  their assets
• Cross-disciplinary research
• Synthesis - evidence based research - data mining
• Emergence of global standards - quality control?
  - with a global marketplace for service provision

18
What will happen?

• Who knows? But whatever happens -
• If definitive versions are of value to research
  work (and they are)
• then they will be used
• If journals are of value to research work (and
  they are)
• then they will be used
• If publishers are of value to research work (and
  they are)
• then they will be used
• If learned societies are of value to research
  work (and they are)
• then they will be used
• If repositories of work are of value to research
  work (and they are)
• then they will be used
