The Repository Junction Broker (RJ Broker) offers a brokering pilot service for the delivery of research output between multiple data suppliers such as publishers and subject repositories to multiple institutional repositories (IRs). The RJ Broker accepts data objects, parses the metadata to determine appropriate target repositories and transfers the data to repositories registered with the service. Notification/Alert emails can be provided to repositories that are not registered for direct delivery. A web based user interface and APIs also allow the browsing and downloading of all Open Access (OA) content in the RJ Broker. The RJ Broker supports Open Access and aims to increase the number of deposits in repositories while minimising the efforts required of potential depositors and repository staff, and thereby maximising distribution and exposure of research outputs. Successful trials have taken place and preparations for the service launch are on-going.
