Highlights
The University of Glasgow has had a longstanding interest in open access and repositories
An early version of the ePrints software was installed in 2001, and an event on scholarly communications aimed at academics with speakers from the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC)[1] was held in 2002
This early interest led to a successful bid to the JISC Focus on Access to Institutional Resources (FAIR) Programme[2], which resulted in the development of the three-year DAEDALUS Project[3]
Summary
Based on a presentation given at the UKSG seminar ‘Mandating and the scholarly journal article: attracting interest on deposits?’, London, 29 October 2008. The University of Glasgow has led the way in open access developments since 2001. This article charts the progress of open access at Glasgow through the development of the DAEDALUS Project in 2002 to the launch of the University’s repository, Enlighten. Key factors leading to the recent announcement of a mandate for the deposit of research publications are discussed, including the impact of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) and the need for a central publications database at Glasgow
