Prelude
• Information about UCA
• RAE 2008 – manual data input
– time consuming
– mainly paper-based
• Recommendations

Step one – the vision
“As well as being critical for the REF submission, the vision behind the implementation of UCARIS using EPrints is that there should be “one input, many outputs”, thus reducing the burden on researchers, academics and administrators in producing publications lists and data reports for many different purposes.” (Silva: 2010)
