Subject: Re: Citation – a good CRIS, or Open Access policy?
Absolutely, Stevan .. the two are not in opposition but need to work together
.. the CRIS puts the content in the IR in a richer context.
As can be demonstrated by our own setup in St Andrews .. we've had the link
between CRIS and OAR for several years .. but without a push from Senior
Management [whether mandate, resource, or whatever] have seen little full text
content [although over 17000 bib only records].
That is now changing .. both because of funder mandates but also from the
ground up as academics begin to see their peers elsewhere quoting download
stats etc for their papers.
