Research Libraries UK, in partnership with The National Archives and Jisc, have recently commissioned TheResearchBase to undertake a commissioned study into the citation of archive and special collection holding repositories within academic publications ('Citation Capture').
As a part of this important research, a survey is being undertaken of archivists, librarians, publishers, and academics regarding how repositories are cited within academic publications. All publishers whose outputs include reference to archives and special collections within academic research are encouraged to participate in this survey.
The survey asks participants what information repositories currently gather regarding their users; what guidance is given to users regarding how they should cite a repository within a publication; whether repositories actively survey citations and the use to which this information is put; and the appetite and advantages of establishing a more uniform system of citation to archival and special collection repositories.
