I-WIRE Project Overview

“Integrated Workflow for Institutional Repository Enhancement”

JISC Information Environment Programme.

Objective: To develop a submissions and metadata workflow and toolset, integrated into a Portal environment, for the submission, indexing, and re-purposing of research outputs into ORCA.

This will form a platform from which to place the deposit of research outputs at the heart of the research process, and encourage author self-deposit.
