An institutional repository enables organizations and their researchers to openly archive their intellectual output and preserve it for the future. With the growth of open access and increasing funder policies, providing full open access to your institution’s research has never been so vital.
The workshop will provide an overview of BioMed Central’s publishing activities and Open Repository, its hosted repository service, and how they combine to provide a comprehensive approach to open access. The presentation will include a discussion of the growing role of institutional repositories, and how they can be acquired and implemented. The workshop will demonstrate how Open Repository has combined DSpace and non-DSpace applications to provide a robust repository service to its clients.
