Ireland's Vision for a Unified Open Repository Network from Open Repositories 2024
The Open Repositories 2024 conference showcased significant advancements in the world of open scholarly publishing. This year's conference provided a platform for discussing various transformative initiatives, focusing on the COAR Notify protocol, RAID Persistent Identifiers (PIDs), and rights retention. One of the highlights for us was the opportunity to present Ireland's vision for a unified and connected open repository network. This forms part of the National Open Research Forum (NORF) Open Access Repositories Project .
