How a faculty repository made publication evidence easier to audit
Faculty Hub
A faculty repository team used Inrep Scholar's audit trail and reporting features to produce publication evidence for an internal governance review.
The faculty had been asked by the institution's quality assurance board to demonstrate that all published research records had passed a documented review process. The team had records but no consistent evidence of who approved them, when, or under what criteria.
With Inrep Scholar's audit trail enabled, every review decision — approval, rejection, correction request, and re-approval — was recorded with the reviewer's identity, timestamp, and action. The faculty administrator generated a filtered report covering the review period and submitted it to the QA board directly.
The board accepted the report as sufficient governance evidence. The faculty has since made the audit report a standard item in its annual repository review.
Key outcomes
- Audit trail covered every publication decision in the review period
- Filtered report generated in minutes, not days
- QA board accepted platform-generated evidence without additional documentation
