Problems
• Getting academics to upload files
• Copyright restrictions Most publishers allow final author version Most authors prefer publisher PDF
![Page 16: Spir@l Open access in action: Imperial College’s Digital Repository Deborah Shorley Director of Library Services, Imperial College London LIRGroup Annual.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e605503460f94b5aea9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Progress so far
![Page 17: Spir@l Open access in action: Imperial College’s Digital Repository Deborah Shorley Director of Library Services, Imperial College London LIRGroup Annual.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e605503460f94b5aea9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Next Steps
• Streamline processes - eg automatic metadata generation
• Single point of deposit for multiple submissions (eg submission to UKPMC and Spir@l)
• Automated addition of PhD theses
• Inclusion of primary datasets
• College mandate for deposit
