EMBRACE aims and objectives
Upgrade the SHERPA-LEAP hosted repository platform from EPrints 2.3 to EPrints 3.0.
Restructure the architecture of the hosted repository service, in order to make the repositories more robust and more easily configurable to meet local functional requirements.
Implement a citation watermarking facility, in order to optimise the impact of the research papers deposited in the hosted repositories.
Implement the Eprints Application Profile at each SHERPA-LEAP repository.
I nvestigate issues around the strategic commitment of institutions to repository sustainability by carrying out case studies, drawing on the espida toolkit, at SHERPA-LEAP institutions.
Consolidate the results of the case studies into a toolkit adapted specifically to support the embedding of IRs in institutional policies and strategies.
