The Institutional Web Site and the Institutional Repository: Addressing Challenges of Integration - workshop at IWMW13 | UKCoRR

"Research management at UK institutions increasingly comprise a combination of software ranging from DSpace and EPrints (and their ever more sophisticated ecology of plug ins) to commercial CRIS like PURE and Converis which may be linked to a repository or, increasingly, subsume the functionality of a repository, managing full text and other digital assets and supporting interoperability standards like SWORD and OAI-PMH. The other popular commercial software is Symplectic Elements which shouldn’t perhaps be regarded as a fully fledged CRIS (though can certainly become part of an integrated research management infrastructure) and needs to be linked to a repository in order to manage full text (disclaimer, this is the system we are currently implementing at Leeds Met and with which I am most familiar.)To my mind, the alleged dichotomy between these various systems fails to take proper account of the functional components of what an integrated research management infrastructure should comprise and even perhaps, to some extent, reflects the entrenched infighting between the Green and Gold Open Access camps (apologies to James Toon for capitalisation!)"
