“…The survey was based on a list of repository indicators detailed in a prior study (Serrano-Vicente, Melero and Abadal, 2014). The survey consisted of 52 questions, the first four corresponding to identification data used in the repository and the remainder relating to the five categories mentioned above (technology, procedures, content, marketing and personnel; see Annex 1).…”

“…The objective of this study was to obtain an overview of Spanish institutional repositories in terms of the way they function and the services they offer authors and the institution itself. For this purpose, a set of indicators was established, based on the existing literature and the authors' own experience (Serrano-Vicente, Melero and Abadal, 2014;Serrano-Vicente and Melero, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide, through a set of indicators, an overview of the way in which Spanish institutional repositories are run and the services they offer their respective institutions and other users. The selected descriptors are based on aspects related to technology, procedures, content, marketing and the personnel responsible for managing repositories. Design/methodology/approach In order to establish the indicators, a thorough review of the literature was carried out to identify existing indicators that are used to assess repositories. These were divided into five categories (technology, procedures, content, marketing and personnel) with a total of 48 components. An online survey was conducted with the repositories managers of 66 Spanish research institutions in order to verify the degree of fulfilment of the selected indicators. Findings The survey received forty-six responses, which represented a response rate of 69 per cent. Of these, 44 came from universities and two from research centres. In total, 65 per cent of the repositories have the capacity to import data from and export data to other university systems, mainly Current Research Information System (32 per cent). Most repositories have mechanisms for the large-scale import and export of metadata and digital objects (83 per cent). The use of altmetrics in repositories is widespread (44 per cent). Authors and librarians deposit most frequently (37 and 32 per cent, respectively), in spite of the fact that 44 per cent do not have full-time staff working in the repository. In more than 80 per cent of the repositories, between 90 and 100 per cent of the deposits are full-text documents. With respect to the tools used to promote the repository within the institution, these are primarily face-to-face training sessions (82 per cent), followed by support materials such as manuals and help pages (65 per cent). The academic authorities encourage open access among researchers in 56 per cent of cases, a significant element in repository marketing. Originality/value This work proposes a model based on five dimensions and 48 indicators to assess institutional repositories. This approach has been applied to Spanish institutional repositories to provide up-to-date information about their management procedures and promotional methods and the services they offer authors and the university community. This overview of Spanish repositories has provided an insight into the way in which repositories have evolved in recent years and allowed potential improvements to be identified based on the most advanced repositories. This model can also be exported to assess institutional repositories in other countries.

“…The aims of this study were to determine the degree of awareness of open access, the use of the institutional repository of the University of Navarra (DADUN) and the satisfaction with the services provided by the managers of the repository (Serrano-Vicente, Melero, & Abadal, 2014). It also aimed to determine how far the repository is integrated in the academic communication of researchers, why they deposit their work in the repository, and what difficulties they encounter in doing so.…”

INTRODUCTION. The aim of this study was to determine the awareness of open access among the academic staff of a research-oriented Spanish university, their use of the institutional repository and their satisfaction with its services.METHODS. An anonymous survey of 37 questions was sent to all professors, researchers and doctoral students of the University of Navarra. Between 5 and 25 March 2015, a total of 1989 messages were sent by email with a link to the survey. RESULTS.A total of 352 responses (17%) were received. The responses showed statistically significant differences in opinions concerning open access journals and services created on top of the repository. Although there was general agreement on the need for open access, half the respondents adopted open access practices (which included the use of the institutional repository, personal and departmental pages and academic platforms such as Academia.edu and ResearchGate). This percentage increased with the older respondents, who were also senior members of staff with tenure and positions of authority at the university. The opinion on open access journals depended on the area of research and was related to the type of academic communication and career advancement in each discipline. Specifically, the opinions of researchers were similar within social sciences and humanities, within medicine and life sciences, and within the physical sciences. The repository services most valued were correction of bibliographic data among older researchers and document scanning among social sciences and humanities researchers. The interoperability of the repository with other systems (especially the current research information system) was also considered important.

El nuevo modelo de ciencia abierta requiere de una infraestructura adecuada para preservar y compartir los datos de investigación. Ello ha implicado un desafío tanto para los investigadores como para las universidades y centros. Como respuesta se han creado más de dos mil repositorios de datos en el mundo, un cuarto por parte de estas instituciones, con diferentes softwares especializados. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo proponer atributos de calidad web para evaluar la interfaz de este tipo de sitios. Para ello se realizó una revisión sistematizada de literatura con directrices internacionales, requisitos técnicos y recomendaciones de expertos, detectando coincidencias. Como resultado se ofrece un protocolo de análisis especialmente formulado para repositorios de datos de investigación, con parámetros e indicadores sobre la interfaz de usuario, localización, acceso y reutilización, conservación, difusión, evaluación y compromiso institucional. A modo de conclusión se observa la necesidad de atender los aspectos específicos de este tipo de datos, relevando el papel de las bibliotecas universitarias para gestionarlos.
