Assistance with the integration of repositories with the requirements of the ERA and the Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) exercises.
- For possible interest, advice from the ARC on book chapter scanning was posted to the CAIRSS elist this week: Q. For ERA book chapter RODAs, will the chapter be the only thing required? Is there any chance that the whole book may be requested e.g. to view the chapter “in context” ?
A. Thank you for your question regarding Book Chapters and peer review. If a book chapter is submitted for peer review, the whole book does not need to be made available for review; just the book chapter. Regards, ERA Team. http://groups.google.com.au/group/cairss/browse_thread/thread/8e9e4db14da43fc
