Welcome to the DRIVER tutorial!
This tutorial is aimed at people that are developing, managing or working with a repository and would like to connect to the DRIVER network. In a step-by-step tutorial this website will try to supply all the information you need to make sure your repository can and will be part of the DRIVER network. The tutorial presupposes a certain amount of knowledge on repositories, Open Access and the Driver network. Nonetheless for those interested in the above mentioned topics or in need of a quick brushing up of such knowledge the first part (step 1) of this tutorial will discuss these topics. A short video has been developed to introduce you to the DRIVER website, infrastructure and services.
More information is available later in this tutorial and from the main DRIVER website www.driver-community.eu
For those of you who are interested in setting up a Repository 'DRIVER style' step 2 will be helpful as it provides a lot of information and advice from those who have a vast amount of experience in setting up the repositories currently participating in the Driver network.
Step 3 mainly focuses on the criteria, as described in the Driver guidelines, that need to be met in order to have your repository be part of the Driver network. Step 4 provides you with the possibility of checking whether you meet those criteria by using the Driver Validator and step 5 will provide you information on the registration process and with some final advice.
Navigating this site is easy. You can easily turn jump to any step within this tutorial by using the Navigation side bar on the left. If you wish to pass through the complete tutorial you can use the ‘next’ (and ‘previous’) arrow at the bottom of every page.
