The University repository, Apollo, will undergo a significant upgrade mid to late April. The Elements system, which is linked to Apollo, will be unavailable for several days while the underpinning repository platform, DSpace, is upgraded to its latest version. It will not be possible to make open access, research data or doctoral theses deposits during this time.
The DSpace upgrade will allow development of a safer, more robust and resilient repository infrastructure. For users, it will be easier to search, browse, discover content, and subscribe to updates.
The Elements upgrade will also add some extra functionality, including increased integration with ORCID. However, you should notice very little change to the experience of using the Elements system which underwent a major upgrade last year.
Timeframes, expected downtime and guidance on new features will be confirmed shortly and details will be available on the Elements support pages. If you have any questions or comments, please contact researchinformation@admin.cam.ac.uk
