- 9. Faster open access makes repository infrastructure more important 8
- 10. We don’t need just open access we need fast open access 9
- 11. This study was only possible to conduct because of repositories and aggregators working together 10
- 12. Need for more interoperability across systems 11

- 16. Why support audit with aggregators? • Individual HEIs have a local and non-complete view of compliance • Open Access uptake and monitoring • Audit transparency • Efficiency • Verifiability 15

- 18. CORE’s role in the REF2021 audit Assist institutions with identifying non-compliant outputs. 17
- 19. CORE and REF2021 Open Access Audit To capture data, CORE recommends to institutions: 1. Make sure your institutional repository/ies are harvested by CORE 2. Adopt RIOXX as a data format 3. Add DOIs to records you are submitting to REF 4. Release deposit dates for harvesting purposes 5. Ensure “dateAccepted” field is used where known 6. Ensure all records submitted for REF have full text linked directly from dc:identifier 7. Ensure repository’s OAI-PMH endpoint is operational https://core.ac.uk/ref-audit/ 18
- 20. RIOXX date accepted field 19 Statistics here
- 21. Deposit time lag 20 What is “deposit time lag”? •The difference between date of publication and date of deposit in a repository expressed in days.
- 22. Single vs any repository deposit time lag 1. Single repository deposit time lag • Deposit time lag with respect to the publications’ deposit date in a given repository 2. Any repository deposit time lag • Deposit time lag with respect to the publications’ deposit date in any repository Repository 1 Repository 2 05/2017 09/2017 Single repository deposit time lag for Repository 1 = 05/2017 – publication date Any repository deposit time lag for Repository 1 = min(05/2017, 09/2017) – publication date 17/22
- 23. Results: Deposit time lag per repository Full lines: Single repository deposit time lag Dashed lines: Any repository deposit time lag
- 24. Publication date 23 What is “publication date”? •If the date of publication is not supplied by the repository or it doesn’t have the desired format: YYYY-MM-DD, CORE will collect the publication date from Crossref.
- 25. Deposit date 24 What is “deposit date”? •Where deposit dates are visible through the web pages in the repository CORE attempts to collect them by scraping them •Where deposit dates cannot be obtained using scraping, CORE makes use of the record’s Datestamp provided in the record’s metadata.

Editor's Notes
- #23: Explain example Any repository deposit time lag – looking at everywhere the paper was deposited, taking the first deposit date and using that to analyse the repository we are looking at We do it this way because once a publication is in an OA repository, it’s already OA, so doing this we want to see if aggregating data from all repositories helps to get access faster
- #24: Results per repository, each point on each line is one repository, value represents proportion of publications in that repository that are compliant with the REF OA policy Explain the rest of figure Key message – significant differences between institutions, institutional policies matter (more than subject) “This is not a game of medicine vs physics or mathematics, this is a game of institutional policies and practices.” Some institutions make sure it happens and some don’t, It’s in the hands of institutions
- #25: Where the publication date is supplied by the repository but the date is not the same as in Crossref, the decision as to which one will be used in the audit will be up to the discretion of Research England.
- #26: Where the publication date is supplied by the repository but the date is not the same as in Crossref, the decision as to which one will be used in the audit will be up to the discretion of Research England.
