Publications Router
Automatically populating institutions' repositories with their authors' research articles.
Service retirement
Publications router will retire on 1 July 2026. The service will continue to operate as normal until that date, and please be assured that we remain fully committed to delivering the highest standard of support right the way through this final cycle. Retiring this service allows us to prioritise resources to meet the needs of the sector.
If you have any questions regarding the closure of this service, please contact us:
- If you represent an institution contact your relationship manager.
- If you represent a publisher, CRIS platform vendor or other organisation, please email help@jisc.ac.uk, mentioning “publications router” in the subject line.
Publications Router gathers information from content providers such as publishers, and passes it to institutions to help them capture their research articles onto their systems – such as their repositories or current research information systems (CRISs).
The router examines the affiliations of each article’s co-authors to determine the appropriate target repositories (or CRISs). It then delivers a notification about it (and often also the article itself) to the appropriate registered repositories or CRISs.
