Title

Research repository managers symposium

Author(s)

Hayes, Leonie;  Morgan, Teula;  Ruthven, Tom

Abstract

Leonie Hayes, Teula Morgan and Tom Ruthven gathered a collection of research repository 'case studies' from repository managers in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa outlining the ways that their institutions decided to deliver the requirements for research reporting and assessment exercises like ERA (Excellence in Research for Australia) and PBRF (Performance-Based Research Fund) in New Zealand. This collection provides an in depth view of research repository development at each institution. They also invited repository managers to raise issues around measurement and evaluation using, for example metrics and peer evaluation. The symposium session asked authors of the case studies to briefly share a summary of their case study, which was followed by a guided discussion session determined by participants. This was the first widespread gathering of research repositories case studies in the region.
