Dear All
Here at NTU we are trying to sort out our repository policies
regarding submission, metadata etc and we've used the OpenDOAR policy
framework as a starting point. What has caused considerable debate
is the statement found in the Data Policy "This repository is not the
publisher; it is merely the online archive." Are we the only ones
who've struggled with this? The EPrints FAQs(
http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/10635/01/index.html#self-archiving-vs-public
ation) on self-archiving quite strongly says that self deposit is
not publishing, but s175 of CDPA says, if I've interpreted it
correctly, that making copies available to the public by means of an
electronic retrieval system is publishing. Your thoughts, decisions
and reasons for those decisions would be most welcome!
Many thanks,
Lisa
