+===== NEWS : (Jisc) Repository Purchasing Framework (May 2020) =====
+**Research Outputs Repository Systems Purchasing Service [[http://repository.jisc.ac.uk/7832/1/research-outputs-repository-systems-purchasing-buyers-guide.pdf|Buyer’s Guide]]** (includes an Appendix: Technical Requirements)
+Jisc announce the completion of the first round of supplier evaluations and that the purchasing service is now live for institutions to use, with the following suppliers (repositories) already accepted: \\  \\ • 4Science s.r.l. (DSpace and DSpace-CRIS) \\ • Digital Science & Research Solutions Inc (Figshare) \\ • Elsevier BV (Mendeley Data) \\ • MyScienceWork (Polaris) \\  \\ Details of the DPS and how to procure through it can be found at the service webpage: \\  \\ [[https://www.jisc.ac.uk/research-outputs-repository-systems-purchasing|https://www.jisc.ac.uk/research-outputs-repository-systems-purchasing]] \\
+ \\
+**How does it work? ** \\ The DPS sets out minimum standards that suppliers must comply with in order to have their product included. These are set out in the Appendix to the Buyer’s guide which can be downloaded from the service webpage. Jisc members (which include all publicly funded UK universities) can use the service to run mini competitions with suppliers, using standard templates provided, and adding additional requirements of their own, if necessary. Jisc will administer the process on behalf of the member, who can use their own criteria to identify their preferred supplier. If a supplier is selected, Jisc notifies all bidders of the result and contracts are between the preferred supplier and member are drawn up. \\  \\ **Benefits and opportunities for Jisc members** \\ • The framework reduces the procurement burden for members: it facilitates a light touch procurement process for members, as OJEU requirements will have already been fulfilled. Members can focus solely on their specific requirements. \\ • Members can be confident that the services included use a clear set of sector standards \\ • The market for such services becomes more transparent, efficient and effective. \\ • Members get better value for money. \\  \\ **Opportunities for repository suppliers** \\ Repository suppliers can apply to join the DPS at any time. Details can be found here [[https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=7d070ad9-8e5c-ea11-80ff-005056b64545|https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=7d070ad9-8e5c-ea11-80ff-005056b64545]] \\

+**Introduction** \\ "This paper outlines the current state of the organisational, cultural and technical landscape related to OA repositories in the UK, trends and recent developments, and suggestions for improvement"
-Repositories in the UK today\\
+**"Software** \\ Of the 160 institutional repositories, 27 use the DSpace open source software, 98 use the EPrints open source software, and 13 use Elsevier’s PURE product. A sizeable minority of those using open source software in fact pay for a hosted solution managed by a third party. Those with local installations are often running rather old software, perhaps because an accretion of local configurations makes it difficult to upgrade "
-According to the global directory OpenDOAR5, there are 258 repositories in the UK, of which 180 hold research articles and, of these, 160 are institutionally-based (as opposed to being departmental or disciplinary).
-According to the Universities UK 2017 Monitoring report , some 48% of articles with a UK author were openly available online other than on the publisher site, of which 15% were in institutional repositories, 13% in subject repositories, and 50% (likely illegally) on ResearchGate. The submission of items into institutional repositories is often mediated (or at least checked) by library staff, whereas that into subject repositories is usually direct by the author. While the REF policy has prompted many universities to increase the investment in their repositories, for others staffing for repository support remains rather low.\\

-//"Research data management (RDM) has emerged as an area of keen interest in higher education, leading to considerable investment in services, resources and infrastructure to support researchers’ data management needs. This is the first in a series of reports by OCLC Research which examines the context, influences and choices higher education institutions face in building or acquiring RDM capacity—in other words, the infrastructure, services and other resources needed to support emerging data management practices. Our findings are derived from detailed case studies of four research universities, hailing from four distinct national contexts: the University of Edinburgh (UK), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (US), Monash University (Australia) and Wageningen University & Research (the Netherlands). In this introductory report, we provide some brief background on the emergence of RDM as a focus for research support services within higher education; present a simple framework for navigating the contours of the RDM service space; describe the methodology we employed for assembling our findings and discuss the key elements of RDM capacity acquisition these findings address; and offer a preview of the next report in the series"// \\

+It has been interesting watching **Research Information Management**  or **RIM**  emerge as a new service category in the last couple of years. RIM is supported by a particular system category, the Research Information Management System (RIMs), sometimes referred to by an earlier name, the CRIS (Current Research Information System). \\  \\ For reasons discussed below, this area has been more prominent outside the US, but interest is also now growing in the US. See for example, the mention of RIMs in the Library [[http://www.dartmouth.edu/%7Elibrary/home/about/mission.html|FY15 Strategic Goals]] at Dartmouth College. \\
-\\
+**Research information management** \\ The name is unfortunately confusing – a reserved sense living alongside more general senses. What is the reserved sense? Broadly, RIM is used to refer to the integrated management of information about the research life-cycle, and about the entities which are party to it (e.g. researchers, research outputs, organizations, grants, facilities, ..). The aim is to synchronize data across parts of the university, reducing the burden to all involved of collecting and managing data about the research process. An outcome is to provide greater visibility onto institutional research activity. Motivations include better internal reporting and analytics, support for compliance and assessment, and improved reputation management through more organized disclosure of research expertise and outputs. \\  \\ A major driver has been the need to streamline the provision of data to various national university research assessment exercises (for example, in the UK, Denmark and Australia). Without integrated support, responding to these is costly, with activities fragmented across the Office of Research, individual schools or departments, and other support units, including, sometimes, the library.
