Can my repository be added to the Knowledge & Library Hub?
Research repositories can be integrated into the Knowledge & Library Hub thereby increasing the visibility of local research and knowledge.
There are upfront and ongoing costs related to this, which NHSE is happy to fund for repositories that meet the criteria below:
-
The repository is a structured database which meets EBSCO's technical requirements for a repository integration.
-
The repository is multi-organisational with a minimum of 3 or more participating organisations.
-
The repository records are made available to all Hub instances in the NHS in England.
-
The repository contains publications which is in the form of grey literature (ideally at least 30%)
-
A good proportion of the records added to the repository include the full text of the publication (ideally 50%).
If you would like to discuss this further with a member of the team, please contact us via the service desk.
