This service has been developed to support Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) with repositories. More specifically, repository managers, research administrators, etc. The interface offers valuable technical information and statistics. Users can benefit from the tool by accessing information that will help them to improve the harvesting of their repository outputs and increase the visibility of their content. The premium edition is currently available to a limited number of users and we plan to expand to all interested institutions in the future.

Instead much primary research is restricted to those that can afford it, whether to read under traditional subscription models or, under an APC based model, to publish at all. Meanwhile fake news is propagated freely with potentially disastrous consequences for our democracy, our ecology and global equality. Sustainable and affordable open access to research is essential for a well informed global population, the first step to building a better society. <br><span style="display: inline-block; padding-top:15px;">With equity as the theme of this year’s <a href="http://www.openaccessweek.org/">Open Access week</a> we will be exploring issues of equality including gender imbalance within the academy and how our University’s research can better benefit the Global South. Early plans include a gender analysis of Leeds research outputs and a Wikimedia editathon focussing on women scientists and encouraging researchers of all genders to properly cite Wikipedia with open access research.</span><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-none" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2019/10/30/core-ambassador-nick-sheppard/"><span>read more...</span></a></span></p></div> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2019/10/30/core-ambassador-nick-sheppard/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2019-10-30T09:00:50+00:00">30th October 2019</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-09-25T19:27:59+01:00">25th September 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/author/nancypontika/">nancypontika</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/ambassador/" rel="category tag">ambassador</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/core/" rel="category tag">CORE</a></span><span class="tags-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Tags </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/core-ambassador/" rel="tag">CORE Ambassador</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/interview/" rel="tag">interview</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/leeds-university/" rel="tag">Leeds University</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/nick-sheppard/" rel="tag">Nick Sheppard</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/open-access/" rel="tag">open access</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/services/" rel="tag">services</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-794" class="post-794 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-ambassador category-core tag-core-am tag-gloria-kadyamatimba tag-interview tag-open-access tag-services tag-zimbabwe"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2019/10/23/core-ambassador-gloria-kadyamatimba/" rel="bookmark">CORE Ambassador: Gloria Kadyamatimba</a></h2> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="ecae" style=""> <p><img decoding="async" width="474" height="494" class="wp-image-795 lazy" style="width: 150px;float: left; padding-right: 10px;" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20474%20494'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src="https://blog.core.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Screen-Shot-2019-07-24-at-12.07.19.png" alt="Gloria"><em>Gloria is a lecturer in the Centre for Language and Communication Studies, Institute of Lifelong Learning and Development Studies at Chinhoyi University of Technology in Zimbabwe.

It is about cracking open the sum total of human knowledge in a way that machines can understand and, by extension, providing it in a way which enables users to find scholarly content more easily and, of course, in an unrestricted way. <br>International Open Access Week is approaching soon but, to be honest, we don’t tend to have plans for Open Access week because at Strathclyde every week is Open Access week! I think there might be quite a few UK institutions that operate in a similar way. In the UK we are fortunate that there is a powerful regulatory aspect to the REF2021 Open Access Policy which ensures researchers take better notice of the open science agenda.<span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-none" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2019/10/16/core-ambassador-george-macgregor/"><span>read more...</span></a></span></p></div> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2019/10/16/core-ambassador-george-macgregor/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2019-10-16T09:00:56+01:00">16th October 2019</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-09-25T19:26:38+01:00">25th September 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/author/nancypontika/">nancypontika</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/ambassador/" rel="category tag">ambassador</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/core/" rel="category tag">CORE</a></span><span class="tags-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Tags </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/core-ambassador/" rel="tag">CORE Ambassador</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/george-macgregor/" rel="tag">george macgregor</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/interview/" rel="tag">interview</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/open-access/" rel="tag">open access</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/services/" rel="tag">services</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/strathprints/" rel="tag">strathprints</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/tag/university-of-strathclyde/" rel="tag">university of strathclyde</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-704" class="post-704 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-ambassador category-core tag-brunel-university tag-core-ambassador tag-david-walters tag-interview tag-open-access tag-services"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2019/10/09/core-ambassador-david-walters/" rel="bookmark">CORE Ambassador: David Walters</a></h2> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="ecae" style=""> <p><img decoding="async" width="404" height="402" class="wp-image-706 lazy" style="width: 150px; float: left; padding-right: 10px;" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20404%20402'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src="https://blog.core.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/walters.png" alt="David Walters, Brunel University"><em>David is the Open Access Officer at Brunel University London based within the Scholarly Communication & Rights Management team.

Most importantly, we consider Open Access to research output a critical, underpinning component on the journey toward an ‘Open Science’ world. Open Science encompasses many areas, aiming to enhance scientific and educational sectors.<br><span style="display: inline-block; padding-top:15px;">As with many institutions, at Brunel we operate local OA services for our community, within an ever-growing landscape of technological and policy drivers. Open Access means creating an environment that supports policy drivers, whilst advantaging new technologies for our community as they emerge.</span> <br><span style="display: inline-block; padding-top:15px;">Much progress is being driven by these factors. However, it is as important to foster discussion and leadership amongst research communities.
