Beyond Publication - A Passage Through Project StORe

The principal aim of Project StORe is to provide middleware that will enable bi-directional links between source repositories of research data and the output repositories containing research publications derived from these data. This two-way link is intended to improve opportunities for information discovery and the curation of valuable research output. In immediate terms, it is expected to improve citation rates as a consequence of increasing the accessibility of research output. A survey of researchers in seven scientific disciplines was used to identify workflows and norms in the use of source and output repositories, with particular attention being paid to the existence of common attributes across disciplines, the functional enhancements to repositories considered to be desirable and perceived problems in the use of repositories. Cultural issues were also investigated. From the results of the survey, a generic technical specification was designed and a pilot environment created ba...
