Open Access Repository Junction project website

Interoperability between digital repositories is important, and several projects and organisations are now investigating the broad issues. However, there seems to be little implementation of project outcomes, or cooperation between organisations to achieve greater interoperability between their repositories.

The purpose of the Open Access Repository Junction (OA-RJ) project is to scope, build and test a deposit broker tool to assist open access deposit into multiple existing repository services. We aim to link up the deposit process between individual institutional repositories and also central subject-based repositories. In doing so we hope to simplify the whole repository deposit workflow for multiple-authored journal articles.

You can keep up to date with the latest news and developments from the OA-RJ project with our new project website and blog.

The website sets out the project aims and objectives, describes the intended deliverables and contains all the relevant project documentation in one place.

The blog is informal in tone and records progress as it occurs. This is an opportunity for readers to see our decision-making processes, the methodologies underlying the work, and also offers an opportunity to interact with the project team and comment on what we are doing.
