Purpose

The RDM working group will share experience of using EPrints to manage research data.

If you do not already have research data management functionality in EPrints we recommend you use this plug-in (link to). This was created as part of some Jisc projects which then amended this particular plug-in to accommodate requirements from various research organisations.

EPrints and RDM

  • Some EPrints sites have added research data to a pre-existing EPrints repository - for example, a repository being used to manage published outputs e.g. University of Southampton http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/
  • Other EPrints sites have a separate EPrints repository for research data e.g. University of Leeds https://archive.researchdata.leeds.ac.uk/

-Plugins-

  • The ReCollect plugin customises EPrints to manage research data. The plugin changes the EPrints workflow and should be deployed with caution on a pre-existing repository.
