<p><span lang="EN-GB">Hello all - I was a little guarded in my previous response but I would like to echo David's comments and offer some personal views. Leaving aside the usual repository arguments for maintaining an IR in tandem with
a CRIS, the philosophical arguments increasingly appear far more persuasive. Some of these were rehearsed by PASTEUR4OA recently (<a href="http://bit.ly/2b5eo92" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2b5eo92</a>). I think institutions need to be asking themselves if they want to
use a system such as PURE controlled by a company that:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">* Single handily inspired the global Open Access movement?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">* Has always vehemently opposed Open Access?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">* Has recently acquired SSRN and other "open" services (allegedly) for the purposes of controlling the scholarly communications lifecycle?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">* Has been accused of allegedly purging SSRN of supposedly "illegal" open content?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">* Uses user group and working group mechanisms as a substitute for dedicated business and system analysts. In essence, staff time of people like me and you being used to make a proprietary system better which Elsevier
then sells back to public research organisations?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">* Appears not to value the development of repository functionality or interoperability with the systems that are central to repositories or Open Access?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">Thankfully we elected to maintain our IR (although I still harbour concerns about its relationship with PURE). But if I were an institution surveying the landscape as it is now, I would be exercising extreme caution
before considering some of these tools as a substitute for an open source repository platform. As David notes, “open access is a consonant with the open source philosophy”!<u></u><u></u></span></p>

a CRIS which purports to perform this role against the criteria. Governance and accountability might be areas where there is variance.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">At Herts we choose to maintain a separate repository too. We use Dspace. I would say its main advantage is that it is platform we control and can develop to suit new requirements as they come along. The downside is the connector from Pure,
which has proven unreliable, is incomplete and very low on Elsevier’s priority (or that of the Pure working group, in terms of the number of people who use it).
