Use and linkage of source and output repositories and the expectations of the chemistry research community about their use

Abstract

This paper presents findings from a questionnaire survey that aimed to identify the issues around the use and linkage of source and output repositories and the expectations of the chemistry research community about their use. In the context of the StORe project (http://jiscstore.jot.com/WikiHome), which sought to develop new ways of linking academic publications with repositories of research data, thirty eight (38) members of academic and research staff from institutions across the UK provided valuable feedback regarding the nature of the research that they conduct, the type of data that they produce, the sharing and availability of research data and the use and expectations of source and output repositories. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
