Reviews the role of digital repositories in relation to the broader UK digital information environment, picks up on highlights, issues and trends. Intended to steer the work of JISC and others interested in furthering enhanced scholarly communication.

7. Charting Progress: UK repository statistics Statistics from OpenDOAR

10. Measurable performance indicators Recommendation 1 Measure cultural and organisational change by whether repository related deliverables are included in institutional information Produce baseline analysis of current repository content and analysis of potential repository content. Enhance repository statistics to measure the availability of open access full text items Analyse patterns of deposit in those institutions with an institutional mandate compared to other institutions. Scope metrics to demonstrate the value of repositories to institutions and their members

15. Vision for scholarly communication 2013 Extract from vision presented in the Roadmap Review Scholarly content is created, stored and shared on the Web.. .. Open Science is the norm, with data produced in labs typically being stored automatically and made open for re-use. The primary level of social interaction for researchers, teachers and learners is at the group level (cross institutional project, institutional research, lab or teaching group). Repositories support various levels of sharing resulting in an open access content item. Repository content would reside in various types and ‘levels’ of repository, with content gravitating to the appropriate level for preservation depending on the value of the content.

18. Target programme outputs Recommendation 5 Tools and project outputs need to be presented in terms of solutions to local institutional repository requirements Recommendation 8 Classify outputs of JISC funded activity into categories useful to repository managers such as relevance in short term or long term; ease of implementation; relevance to different repository types.

20. Take the lead on exploiting the Web Recommendation 7 Harness existing JISC funded expertise to take lead on exploiting the Web for teaching and research. Ensure existing JISC services have responsibility to advise and demonstrate use of Web 2.0 for scholarly communication from research to teaching, to include aspects where repositories have a role. This may involve UKOLN, CETIS, RSP. Extend remit of CRIG (or similar group) to address interfaces with web based systems, Web 2.0 initiatives .

29. Curating Research data ‘ We have only just scratched the surface’ International and national activity Likelihood of hybrid solution

33. Identify what researchers and teachers are doing now, involve them in development of the vision of scholarly communication. “ Don’t think roll out of services, think roll-in of researchers”.
