  1. Register your repository in the OpenAIRE Provide service
  2. Install EPrintsOpenAIRE https://github.com/eprintsug/EprintsOpenAIRE


A new version (v1.1.0) is being tested as both an ingredient and a Bazaar/EPM package.

  1. Make sure repository is getting harvested in OpenAIRE Provide
  2. Install tracker NB we need to consolidate these (which are in approx. chronological order):
    1. https://github.com/Rudjer-Boskovic-Institute/EPrints-OAPiwik
    2. https://github.com/openaire/EPrints-OAPiwik (forked from the above)
    3. https://github.com/alex-ball/EPrints-OAPing
    4. https://github.com/eprints/EPrints-OAPiwik I think this is where the official release will live?
  3. Check data is being received - OpenAIRE is only updated monthly
  4. remove/disable IRUS tracker

Instructions for sending historic data

See notes in Eprints-OAPiwik?
