University Statement – April 2006
“Glasgow University, as a signatory of the Scottish Open Access Declaration, strongly encourages authors at Glasgow University to deposit copies of their published work into the University's Institutional Repository……….The Repository is a freely available database which anyone in the world can access and is intended to be a showcase of the research undertaken at the University.”

University Publications Policy – June 2008
The objectives of this policy are: • To increase the visibility of research
publications produced by staff employed by or associated with the University of Glasgow
• To ensure that research outputs are prepared and curated in a way which helps maximise the value that they have for the university in terms of the external use of bibliometric data e.g. league tables, post-2008 RAE

crosswalks and metadata schema
• Reducing Duplication– Ingest, workflows, reporting
• Exploiting new opportunities– Data mining, business intelligence, KPI’s,
Analytics, “stickiness”, visibility
Embedding and Repository Questions

MiniREF Lessons
• Your publications data can never be comprehensive enough in advance of an exercise like this
• Ensure you are ready to deal with the volume of queries, updates and additional publications which the exercise will elicit
• Administration features including the opportunity to "impersonate" users (to update records on their behalf) and to run various reports are absolutely vital for managing returns and gauging progress
• Learn lessons, take onboard feedback and be flexible/nimble enough to make changes to the system and workflows
Using publications data for research management
• University now has comprehensive record of its publications
• Senior management interest in re-using and analysing this data
• Publication lists pulled from Enlighten to pre-populate Professorial Performance and Development Review forms
• Comparison of University’s publications with ERA (Excellence in Research for Australia) journal rankings list
