Accessibility report for STIE PPI Repository

Message
This report is based on a default publication flavour installation of EPrints 3.4 using the data imported by the testdata/bin/import_test_data script. Any rebranding to EPrints or significant customisation is liable to significantly alter the results show below.

Table of Contents

Introduction

This report is intended to present the results of the testing of STIE PPI Repository to assess its accessibility compliance. This has been undertaken with the use of the Chrome Extension of the WAVE web accessibilty evaluation tool. To emulate user-generated content EPrints' testdata/bin/import_test_data script has been used to import 100 publications to populate various pages under test.

Where there are known issues, the comments section should describe the reasons and where appropriate how these issues are likely be addressed. For more details on planned future accessiibility improvements, please see our accessibility roadmap.

Summary

Based on testing a default publication flavour installation of EPrints using standard test data, all tested public-facing pages currently report no errors, contrast errors or alerts except where this is essential for the functioning of EPrints as on Open Access repository (i.e. links to PDF documents) or due to duplications in the test data leading to alerts about shared alternative texts for nearby images. It should be noted that although Chromium's WAVE extension does not report any contrast errors for public-facing pages Firefox's does but the former was used for testing. Firefox's contrast errors are due to its default settings for the background colour of select boxes.

Many non-public administration pages do have significant numbers of errors or alerts. This will be addressed by the release of EPrints 3.4.3 if not EPrints 3.4.2. Typically where very large number of errors or alerts exist on a page, the majority are the same issue generated by a programmatic layout of information, (e.g. if one search result has an issue, the remainder of search results on that page are likely to have the same issue). This means it is likely only a small number of changes should be necessary to eliminate a significant number of these issues.

Miscellaneous pages like those for OAI metadata harvesting have been tested and found to have issues but are being considered low priority, as they are not generally intended for human use.
