OA-RJ Open Access Repository Junction

Aims & Objectives

The deposit of items into repositories is currently akin to a vertical market. A depositor has a one-to-one relationship with the repository service and materials are deposited singly into one location. However we know that research publications are often authored by multiple researchers from multiple institutions who require their publications to be deposited in multiple locations.

The aim of OARJ is to assist deposit into multiple existing repository services by developing middleware that, for a given paper, will aid both discovery of repository targets and delivery of the content to the appropriate locations.
