The plan is to use Shibboleth to restrict access to the direct submission form (as in the Shibboleth Authentication section of this page).  This submission form + Elements would be the two ways external users could submit on their own to the IR.  In either case the items would enter an approval queue that would be vetted by the repo manager.  External to DSpace in some regard.  

The plan is to embargo some items via DSpace's out-of-the-box embargo functionality.  The URLs of embargoed items end with ' isAllowed=n' rather than ' isAllowed=y'

DOI generation

DOI agency integrated with DSpace

DSpace, when configured so that DOI generation is integrated, automatically generates a DOI for each item added to the repository.  

    1. Would this be acceptable?   

    2. If not, how would generating DOIs manually look, workflow-wise?

    3. How would we deal with the fact that many articles deposited via our RIM already have DOIs?  The DOIs generated in DSpace would have to be manually deleted, and we'd have to get DOIs imported through Elements into the same field as DOIs generated by DSpace.

DOI generationManual retrieval and entry of DOIs

How would manual generation of DOIs through a new Libraries CrossRef membership work?  This would be the simplest solution, however would require more manual intervention per-item.  

    1. Would be a cataloger task?

    2. Would this happen through a process integrated into the metadata approval process?  




Subscribing to a DOI Registration agency

We'll need to join a DOI registration service
  1. Crossref -which is difficult to integrate with DSpace and may require dev support for DSpace integration- is cheap ($275 yearly, $1 per DOI).  

  2. DataCite -which integrates easily with DSpace- is, annecdotally at least, far more expensive (7k yearly?!?);  Their pricing is opaque, we’d have to get a quote.

Core FunctionalityRequirementsComplications and question: Notes/DecisionsJira TicketsReference Links
Implementation of 'deposit' button in Elements

a deposit embedded in the Elements interface, usable by both library staff and faculty users of our RIMS 

It must be enabled universally.  Is this a problem?  

This functionality cannot be limited only to certain classes of user.  

The crosswalk allows us to move items deposited from Elements→DSpace to specific dspace collections based on their 'publication type' status in elements.  This could be one solution.  




Library mediated deposits from Elements→DSpace

We've discussed having the library deposit from Elements to DSpace on faculty member's behalf.  

One complication is that Elements indexes articles hosted in other systems, but does not ingest copies of articles.  What are the workflow and legal implications of downloading these articles directly from the publication.

Another complication is that many journals allow the deposit of the preprint or accepted version, but not the publisher's version.  How would we obtain one of the permissible versions, which would be unpublished.  




Dark archive?We could set up a DSpace collection shielded from the public that would facilitate the long term preservation of faculty research, while keeping it in accessible due to legal complications

Is this worth it?  

Is this too far in the wrong direction re: open access?
