In January, the Glasgow Pathfinder project (E2EOA) organised a workshop that looked at metadata requirements, processes, evidence and related issues for the next REF. The workshop brought together those interested in how we can use/ develop/ modify institutional systems (CRISs and/or IRs and/ or other software) to manage the additional metadata requirements for the next REF and focused work around the following objectives:
- Identify information requirements for Open Access and REF –developing the End-to-End metadata profile
- Explore open access processes
- Identify common issues
- Identify good practice
- Plan coordinated activity
- Obtain the information needed to develop internal processes to support OA for REF
