<br>
Some news for the UK repository network from the ongoing OpenAIRE Conference in Göttingen:<br>
<br>
- There are presently three OpenAIRE-compliant Institutional Repositories in the UK, namely LSE,</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote"> UCL and Glasgow. Additionally, former UKPMC, now EuropePMC subject-based repository is also</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote"> OpenAIRE-compliant. Top OpenAIRE countries in terms of OpenAIRE-compliant repositories are:</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">Portugal 29, Spain 21, Germany 10.<br>
<br>
- The UKRepNet+ has now collected the list of over 10,000 EU FP7 projects (2007-2013) in which</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">UK organisations are involved - and further work should shortly be done in order to identify the</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">(Special Clause 39) subset of them which are subjected to the EC Open Access policy. The</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">UKRepNet+ has also collected the list of repository managers who have attended OpenAIRE</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">webinars in order to find out what HEIs are actually interested in becoming OpenAIRE compliant.<br>
<br>
- Finally, after the UKRepNet+ presentations delivered last Fri Nov 9th at the UKCoRR annual</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">meeting at Teesside University, a RepNet survey was released for the UK repository community</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">to deliver their feedback on their readiness for new repository services to be shortly provided by</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">UKRepNet+. One of the questions in this survey was "would you be interested in receiving direct</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">support for making your IR OpenAIRE compatible?". We have so far collected 11 answers to this</div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote">survey. For 10 of them, the answers range from "yes, definitely" to "that would be useful".<br>
<br>
If you haven't already, you can still provide your feedback through this RepNet survey at:<br>
