Research Institute outputs in the IR:

towards an efficient workflow

Research Institutes

• Interdisciplinary
• Limited administrative support
• Value open science 
• Track outputs to gain/maintain support

IR Scholarship@Western

• Department-based series
• labour intensive one at a time loading (15-20)
• permitted version?

Problems

• checking for duplicates 
• is the output a product of the institute?
• labour/time-consuming
• self-archiving  does not happen often

Problems

Digital Commons (DC) Harvesting Tool

• No re-keying of metadata
• batch loading saves time
