ERIS project
ERIS project
The development of a set of user-led and user-centric solutions to motivate researchers to deposit work in repositories was the goal of the Enhancing Repository Infrastructure in Scotland (ERIS) project. ERIS also aimed to connect repositories across the country to enable easy access to Scotland’s research output. The project ran from April 2009 to March 2011.
