Research Repository
As institutions globally are seeking ways to manage and potentially share their research materials, numerous institutions are discovering EQUELLA’s suitability as a Research Repository.
New and existing EQUELLA users have identified that many of the requirements of a Research Repository are already part of EQUELLA’s rich feature set and provide out of the box benefits, including:
- Storage and management of research publications: Incorporating articles, conference papers and theses and other research information
- Search the content: Capacity to search the contents and metadata of research items, allowing easy discoverability
- Research paper items: Ability to store “research paper” items with the University IP version alongside the published research
- Open access repositories: EQUELLA can act as a public source of research papers and data for searching and bulk OAI harvesting by institutions worldwide
- Secure storage: Alternatively, EQUELLA can restrict access and permissions (eg. view, edit) to owners, groups or roles in the system or to selected users or groups outside your institution – a powerful feature for collaborative research projects
- Federated search functionality: This allows access to external databases and repositories, along with the ability to harvest from public research collections and commons
- Established architecture: This enables the creation of EQUELLA Agents for interoperability with products such as research management systems, Endnote, sciFinder and ePortfolios
- Integration with delivery platforms: Researchers are able to directly access research publications from their institution’s existing links to delivery platforms
- Internal and external review: Tailored contribution wizards, complete with associated workflows allows internal and external review of research publications
- Report generation: Once research output information is stored within EQUELLA, a number of reports can be generated to assist institutions in managing and tracking this valuable resource
