What is an IR?
• “An institutional repository is a digital archive of the intellectual product created by the faculty, research staff, and students of an institution and accessible to end users both within and outside of the institution, with few if any barriers to access.”
– The case for institutional repositories: A SPARC position paper. Release 1.0, 2002. http://www.arl.org/sparc

What is an IR? (2)
• Institution-based – service/ infrastructure• Capture and make accessible an
organization’s research output• Cumulative & perpetual• Open & interoperable• Formal extension of researchers’ interest
in using Internet for innovative dissemination of research findings
Page 6
T.B. RajashekarNCSI, IIScJPGM GoldCon, 23-26 Sept 2004
IR Contents• E-Version of one or more of the following:• Published/ peer-reviewed material
– Ex.: Journal papers (post-prints), book chapters, conference papers
• Unpublished/ gray material– Ex.: Pre-prints, working papers, theses and
dissertations, technical reports, progress/ status reports, committee reports, presentations, teaching material, audio/video clips, etc.
• Supporting material– Ex.: Data sets, models, simulations

How does an IR work?
• A repository server for hosting institutional research publications (ePrints) - metadata and full text
• Provide web interface for online submission of research publications by research staff (self-archiving)
• Provide open (online) access to the content (metadata and/ or full pub) on Internet
• Expose metadata for supporting inter-operability (OAI-compliance), cross-archive aggregation and searching services
• IR software is used for managing the repository and provision of access

Enabling Technologies
• Open source (free) software for establishing and managing IRs– EPrints, DSpace, CDSWare, etc.– OAI compliant
• Metadata standards like Dublin Core• Inter-operability protocols like OAI-PMH• Campus-wide network infrastructure

Benefits of an IR
• Improved impact of institutional research– How?– Open access on the Internet– Greater visibility – Global presence– More researchers can access, so wider usage
and impact
Studies have shown that freely available research literature tends to be accessed more, read more and
cited more.

T.B. RajashekarNCSI, IIScJPGM GoldCon, 23-26 Sept 2004
Benefits of an IR (2)
• Rapid communication of research• Integrated view of institutional research• Promote collaborative research and knowledge
sharing• Establish priority for research findings• Value-added services such as individual and
department-wise online publication lists • Facilitate improved research knowledge
management

eprints@iisc• Purpose:
– Improve visibility and impact of IISc research– Create a ‘digital research archive’ of IISc
research– Integrated view of research output
(individual researcher/ dept./ institutional)• Pilot implementation: Early 2002• Service launched: December 2002• Use EPrints open source software• Server: P4, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB, Linux Red Hat

IRs and Publisher Copyright
• Publisher copyright – key concern of researchers to deposit their publications to IRs
• Growing number of publishers now permit ePrint archiving in IRs– 61% post-print, 23% pre-print (out of 8242
journals from 97 publishers)– Project Romeo/ JISC – http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/– http://romeo.eprints.org/

OAI and Cross-Archive Search Services
• A few hundred IRs exist today• We cannot afford to search each IR for
resource discovery• Cross-archive search: OAI-PMH
interoperability protocol for ‘harvesting’metadata from different digital archives
• Cross-archive search services: ARC, OAIster, CiteBase
• Google now indexes IRs now!

Message?• Institutional repositories have great potential for
improving visibility and impact of institutional research
• Easy to set up and manage• Should be viewed as institutional infrastructure/
service (academic/ R&D organizations)• Particularly relevant to developing nations -
Combined with OA journals, provide global presence to our research findings
