Scholarly Communication
- what do we mean?
 Scope of the term is wider than "scholarly publishing" and
covers the authoring, publishing (in a broad sense), and
reading of information produced by members of the
academic community for teaching or research. "Information"
in this context may be in a variety of formats.
(CURL/SCONUL definition)
 Stakeholders usually defined simply as
Authors + Publishers + Librarians + Readers
 Other stakeholders not usually included in the debate
This needs to change
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
Definition
 Scholarly Communication encompasses everything that
researchers, teachers and learners need in order to be effective –
and this makes Repositories important
 New definition
 The authoring, publishing, dissemination, and reading of
information produced for teaching, learning or research in
whatever format,
 with the tools, measures and systems needed to provide
access to and store these materials in perpetuity
 It is an inclusive definition – of both partners and processes

RIOJA
 RIOJA – funded by JISC Capital Programme (April 2006)
 Repository Interface for Overlaid Journal Archives
 Academic-led project
 UCL
 University of Cambridge
 University of Glasgow
 Imperial College London
 Cornell University
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
Deliverables
 RIOJA tool to support automated interactions between
journals and open access repositories
 Demonstrator Journal in Astrophysics and Cosmology
 Using Cornell University's open source DPubS software
 Interfacing with and overlaid on the arXiv subject repository
 Content of the demonstrator journal will be test papers
 Submitted to and housed on the arXiv server
 Illustrate the use of the RIOJA tool to facilitate the overlay of peer
review onto repository content
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES
And…
 RIOJA
 Will explore social and economic aspects of building certification onto
repositories in support of the creation of overlay journals
 Carry out a survey of researchers from the field of Astrophysics and
Cosmology
 Aim to deliver a continuation plan for the demonstrator journal, founded on
a cost-recovery business model tested on the Astrophysics and
Cosmology community
 RIOJA has strong academic support
 Impetus for the RIOJA project comes directly from academic users of the
arXiv subject repository

LIFE – Preservation and Digital Curation
Findings
 LIFE has developed a Generic Preservation Model for costing digital
curation at an item level
 Preservation = Technology watch + Preservation frequency * Overall
preservation action
 Preservation = t * TEW + (t / ULE + PON) * (CRS + UME + PPA +
QAA)
 Worked out by look at BL’s VDEP, Web Archiving Project and UCL’s
E-Journals service
 Fits into formula for identifying whole lifecycle costs over time:
LT=Aq+IT+MT+AcT+ST+PT

LIFE Phase 2
 Has been funded by the JISC
 Will look at
 Firming up the economic modelling in partnership with an
academic economist
 Will work up more Case Studies to test the models
Repositories are two such Case Studies
Looking at the SHERPA-LEAP and SHERPA-DP

Conclusions
 Scholarly Communication represents a revolution in the way
researchers and students disseminate and use information
 There are gaps in the knowledge base which hamper our ability to
assess the impact and importance of new dissemination models
 Overlay Journals represent an opportunity to marry Open Access
Journals with Open Access Repositories
 Digital Curation will ensure the long-term preservation of digital assets
in Repositories, and the costs are becoming clearer
 The most important asset is YOU, because YOU can effect change
