The document summarizes the CORE (Connecting Repositories) project, which aims to aggregate open access research from around the world. It describes CORE's mission and statistics, the need for a UK aggregator, CORE's three levels of access, applications like its search portal and mobile apps, the aggregation process, and its dashboard tool for repository managers. The dashboard allows managers to monitor their records, update metadata, see harvesting issues, and collaborate more with CORE to broaden discoverability of open access research.

- 19. Issues : 3 types When harvesting your repository/document we encountered an error that we couldn't resolve. These errors need to be fixed in order to to harvest your repository/document. We encountered an error but we were still able to harvest the repository/document. We strongly recommend that these issues are resolved as they may lead to incompatibility problems in the future. This may not be a problem but it may be a clue for misconfiguration or future incompatibilities.

- 27. Dashboard benefits - Increased and simplified collaboration between aggregators and content providers - Improved control of the content provider over the harvested content - Reduction of scepticism and fear of sharing content with other systems - Improvement of the harvesting process - Broadening of the open access content discoverability and thus reuse of the open access content where permitted

Editor's Notes
- #2: The mission of CORE (COnnecting REpositories) is to aggregate all open access research outputs from repositories and journals worldwide and make them available to the public. In this way CORE facilitates free unrestricted access to research for all. CORE: supports the right of citizens and general public to access the results of research towards which they contributed by paying taxes, facilitates access to open access content for all by offering services to general public, academic institutions, libraries, software developers, researchers, etc., provides support to both content consumers and content providers by working with digital libraries, institutional and subject repositories and journals, enriches the research content using state-of-the-art technology and provides access to it through a set of services including search, API and analytical tools, contributes to a cultural change by promoting open access, a fast growing movement. CORE harvests openly accessible content available with respect to the Budapest Open Access Initiative definition: "By 'open access' to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited."
