TL;DR: In this article, an anonymous survey of 37 questions was sent to all professors, researchers and doctoral students of the University of Navarra and a total of 352 responses (17%) were received.
TL;DR: This study empirically tested and consolidated the factors which are important in institutional repository implementation worldwide and documented them as critical success factors and frames questions about the possible value of developing some guidelines or standards related to success factors to be able to monitor the deployment of institutional repositories.
Abstract: – This paper aims to explore the critical factors that contribute to the success of institutional repositories worldwide. Previous research indicates that there is little agreement surrounding what constitutes a successful institutional repository. , – Possible key factors were extracted from literature review and responses from expert panels. A web-based survey questionnaire forming a total of 69-item statements was developed. The questionnaire, when pilot-tested, was found highly reliable. The questionnaire was then distributed to 322 institutional repository managers, who are representative of the population, via the OpenDOAR email distribution service. Data collection ended in four months, once the sample volume of usable questionnaires reached 295, which is 91.6 per cent response rate. , – The results of the factor analysis indicate the possibility of 46 variables under six factors being important for the success of institutional repository implementation. These six factors are “Management”, “Services”, “Technology”, “Self-archive Practices”, “People” and “Resources”. , – This study has empirically tested and consolidated the factors which are important in institutional repository implementation worldwide and documented them as critical success factors. , – It also frames questions about the possible value of developing some guidelines or standards related to success factors to be able to monitor the deployment of institutional repositories.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the perceived importance of the success factors and the actual performance of institutional repositories worldwide and found that several of the factors are not fully realized by the institutional repositories despite their relative importance.
TL;DR: The ZU Scholars1 institutional repository as discussed by the authors uses a semi-automated workflow to populate the repository with publication data from Scopus, Web of Science, Dimensions and Unpaywall using a custom R script.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the present status of Institutional Repository (IR) in India by its collection type, subject coverage and total number of digital repository collections available to academic community as open sources.
Abstract: This paper highlights the present status of Institutional Repository (IR) in India by its collection type, subject coverage and total number of digital repository collections available to academic community as open sources. For this purpose, the Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) and the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR) have been consulted. This paper focuses to develop humanities and social sciences institutional repositories in India. Results have been shown by collection type and subject coverage.
