Ruchi Srivastava , Dr. Praveen Babel

Abstract

Institutional repositories (IRs) are digital collections that record and preserve a single academic or multi-institution community's intellectual output. Their goal is to make scholarly content more accessible without the financial obstacles that now exist in scholarly publishing. If effective, IRs have the potential to benefit researchers all around the world, particularly those in developing countries. The concept of IR is not relatively new, but it has yet to be thoroughly investigated. The paper gives a thorough explanation of the IR concept, identifies and describes the factors being examined, and explores some of the study's problems. The result or the factors which are responsible for the success of any academic repository are based on a survey done through a questionnaire send to the stakeholders of the repositories of ‘Indian Institute of Technology’ (IITs) and ‘Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research’ (IISERs). This paper is a part of a research study done by the author focussing on IITs and IISERs academic repositories.
