An InstitutionalOA Policy : why? To know what the University produces To provideresearcherswithincreasedvisibilityfor their scientific production To reducecosts Open Access Green Road
The Basics An empty repository is useless, a partly filled repository is partly useless It doesn tworkspontaneously: needfor an official institutional policy Top down first Bottomup comes easy later on An official institutional policy must be enforced or else it is inefficient However: youcannotforce academicsnorscientiststo do thingstheydon twantto do
The Basics So, don t impose anything Just inform your researchers that only thosepublications that are in the repository will be consideredin in any evaluation, promotion, grant submission, etc Link publications to address book

The roleof the «Back Office»: QualityControl Authors concerned and responsible But : Suppression : onlyby the ORBiteam Toolto followthe «in press», «in progress», imports, Permanent updatingof the periodicalsdata data bank Hot Line exploitation to improve system and help Targeted comparisonswithwos, Scopus,... Tools for false full text detection Faulty behaviorwarnedto authorby the Rector himself
Innovations fromthe «Back Office» Automatic duplication detector Automatic incoherent data detector Co-first author tickbox Export in RIS& CSVformats, soonalsoin BibTeX Specific publisher agreement attachment Multiple improvements for the deposit procedure
Proselytism? Belgianuniversitieshave adoptedourmandate but Withoutthe the incentive Workdoneby librarians: little involvement, low responsibility feeling ULg: 61.5 % FT UCL : 25.3 % FT ULB : 16.4 % FT Many requests for presentations of ORBi and the ULg mandate worldwide The Universityof Luxembourghas nowits«orbi Lu»
Proselytism? Towards a National Mandate? The FNRS isadoptinga similarmandate Mandatory deposit in IRs, harvesting by FNRS Depositedpapersare the onlyonesin the publication listusedfor grant proposal review(01.01.2014) A Belgian Mandate Decree in preparation(align onto EU recommendations)
