Findings impact future distribution of research funding
Sarah Faulder and Shinwha Cha from PLS have written a piece for the ALPSP Learned Publishing journal, looking at developments in the Access To Research two year pilot, which launched in February 2014.
The article, published in April 2014, describes the setting up of the project and the fi ndings from a three-month technical pilot. It then looks into how PLS are addressing the challenge of understanding how the public will make use of the system, and exploring how best to provide training and education for librarians and users.
In the interests of transparency, organisations (including, for example, NGOs, trade associations and commercial enterprises) are invited to provide the public with relevant information about themselves by registering in the Interest Representative Register and subscribing to its Code of Conduct.
