dissertations (ETDs). Dr Ian Rowlands, Research Services Manager & Bibliometrician at the University of Leicester, will discuss the university’s digitisation and dissemination project. Cathy Boylan, Publisher, European Dissertations, ProQuest, will discuss discoverability and the benefits to universities, research and researchers of widening the scope of ETD distribution.
Road: ISSN as a Matching Key for Determining the Quality and Prominence of OA Resources
Nathalie Cornic, ISSN International Centre (CIEPS)
ROAD, the Directory of Open Access scholarly Resources, provides access to a multidisciplinary selection of OA resources worldwide. As a free subset of the ISSN Registry, the directory aggregates data from partners (indexing services, registries, journal indicators). The main features of the service and the role of the ISSN as a matching key will be presented.
