FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 20, 2015



The deadline for main conference and interest group proposal submissions and 
scholarship programme applications is January 30, 2015.



The Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2015 
<http://www.or2015.net/>, will be held on June 8-11, 2015 in Indianapolis 
(Indiana, USA). The organizers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the 
program. This year's conference theme is:



LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS



OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year¹s overarching theme reflects 
that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at the 
Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the 
transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication and research 
data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also help to ensure 
that open repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping and 
sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship.

OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now 
expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support and manage 
them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade.

We welcome proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical, 
organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We are 
particularly interested in:



1. SUPPORTING OPEN SCHOLARSHIP, OPEN SCIENCE, AND CULTURAL HERITAGE ONLINE

2. MANAGING RESEARCH (AND OPEN) DATA

3. INTEGRATING WITH EXTERNAL SYSTEMS

4. RE-USING REPOSITORY CONTENT

5. EXPLORING METRICS AND ASSESSMENT

6. MANAGING RIGHTS

7. DEVELOPING AND TRAINING STAFF

8. BUILDING THE PERFECT REPOSITORY



Submissions that demonstrate original and repository-related work without these 
themes will be considered, but preference will be given to submissions which 
address them.
