5. • “Dryad is an international repository of
data underlying peer-reviewed articles in
the basic and applied biosciences.”
• Improved integration with publisher
workflows:
• Publishers can send metadata to
Dryad either at point of acceptance,
or now also point of submission
• Enabled peer review of data
• Provisional DOIs
• Dryad information available earlier
in production process
• Integration with new journal
management systems

7. • A 6-month JISC-funded pilot project to
introduce RDM to the UCL Institute of
Archaeology
• Tested whether using familiar workflows
and tools makes archiving data less
burdensome
• Preparing a data management plan
• Use of an institutional repository
• Publishing a data paper

9. Metajournals
brian.hole@ubiquitypress.com www.ubiquitypress.com / @ubiquitypress

10. Metajournals
• Highlight research outputs
that would otherwise be
isolated in ‘silos’
• Flexible: different types of
resources and repositories
• Peer reviewed
• Ensure best practice
followed

11. Metajournals
• Use familiar methods – low
barrier to participation
• Focus on high-reuse
potential
• Incentivise openness
• Reward researchers who
may otherwise go
unrecognised

16. PRIME: Project focus
• Developing a system to exchange metadata between:
• the UCL Discovery EPrints institutional repository
• the Archaeology Data Service subject repository
• the Journal of Open Archaeology Data
• Focusing on archaeology data only to pilot the system
• Building on other successful JISC projects:
• DryadUK
• REWARD
• SWORD-ARM

17. PRIME: Use Case #1
• A UCL Researcher deposits data in an external subject repository.
• The subject repository sends the metadata and DOI of the data to the
UCL institutional repository so that it has a record of the output.

18. PRIME: Use Case #2
• A UCL Researcher deposits data in their institutional repository.
• The institutional repository sends the metadata and DOI of the data to
the appropriate subject repository so that it has a record of the output.
brian.hole@ubiquitypress.com www.ubiquitypress.com / @ubiquitypress

19. PRIME: Use Case #3
• A UCL Researcher submits an article to a journal, and is asked to archive the data
as a precondition of publication.
• The journal sends the metadata to the subject repository so that the author does
not have to re-enter it.
• The subject repository sends the metadata and DOI of the data to the
institutional repository so that it has a record of the output, and the DOI back to
the journal to link the article with the data.

20. Next steps
November 14th at UCL:
Workshop to scope and produce a draft metadata schema for
inter-repository exchange.
