In early 2019 Symplectic partnered with Jisc, the University of Cambridge and Sheffield Hallam University to undertake a pilot study to review the technical compatibility of using the Jisc Publications Router together with Symplectic Elements to help UK institutions comply with their open access mandates.
The Jisc Publications Router is an alerting service that automatically sends notifications about research articles to institutions’ repositories. These notifications may include full text of the article, in a version agreed by the publisher, or they may just consist of metadata and are designed to help institution’s prepare for the REF and comply with UK open access mandates. Available to Jisc Members, the Router currently offers integrations with DSpace and EPrints.
