Cultivating Scholarship: The Role of Institutional Repositories in Health Sciences Libraries

Medical Institutional Repositories in a Changing Scholarly Communication Landscape

“…Of these 129 libraries, 55.81% 72reported offering institutional repository services, with 13.96% (18) adding or evaluating institutional repositories (Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries 2014). This was a large increase as compared to AAHSL's 2010 survey, when 35.9% of libraries reported offering IR services and 34.2% were planning or considering (Palmer 2014). More recently, in early 2018 the authors and a co-investigator surveyed the 151 libraries that are currently members of AAHSL about their institutional repositories.…”

“…OpenDOAR, the Directory of Open Access Repositories, is an authoritative list of open access repositories around the world that was launched in 2005 and is maintained by the University of Nottingham. In December 2013, OpenDOAR indicated that there were approximately 2,100 institutional repositories worldwide (Palmer 2014). As of May 2018, the number of institutional repositories has grown to just over 3,000, with 338 of these repositories focused on health and medicine (University of Nottingham 2018).…”

The institutional repository landscape in medical schools and academic health centers: a 2018 snapshot view and analysis

“…Since then, however, few analyses have been published. Palmer’s article presented a view of the state of medical IRs and trends, including brief statistics that AAHSL compiled in 2010 [9]. This view was later updated with statistics from AAHSL’s 2014 member survey, which found that close to 56% of AAHSL libraries reported offering IR services [10].…”

“…Existe una rica literatura sobre RIs, que comenzó a aparecer a principios del año 2000 (Buehler & Boateng, 2005;Crow, 2002;Lynch, 2003) y ha continuado hasta la fecha (Bhardwaj, 2014;Bonilla-Calero, 2014;Clobridge, 2014;Connell & Cetwinski, 2010;Fan, 2015;Hawkins, Kimball, & Ives, 2013;Koler-Povh, Mikos, & Turk, 2014;Liauw, Tjiek, & Nugraha, 2011;Llorens Largo, Bayona, Gómez, & Sanguino, 2010;Marsh, 2015;Palmer, 2014;Sahu & Goswami, 2015;Schöpfel & Prost, 2013c;Stanton & Liew, 2011). Esta literatura incluye tanto estudios sobre el estado de la cuestión, como casos de estudio de experiencias individuales.…”

“…En la práctica existen variaciones considerables. Muchas de estas variaciones implican cualificadores locales y el uso de elementos de metadatos para registrar la información que no se corresponde con el significado establecido de los elementos (García-Peñalvo, Merlo-Vega, et al, 2010;Park & Richard, 2011).…”
