This paper explored a trend analysis related to Institutional Repository research from 2000 until October 2023. This research aims to determine: (1) the present publication trends and evolvement in the institutional repository's management of research data; (2) the most effective authors and institutions in the institutional repository's management of research data; (3) the most cited papers on institutional repository research data management; and (4) the major keywords and subjects related to the institutional repository's management of research data. The data was obtained through the Scopus database with the keywords institutional AND repository*OR open AND access OR scholarly AND communication OR digital AND library* OR research AND management. For analysis purposes, the selected year is 2000 to 2023. The search resulted in 309 documents and became 285 documents after screening. The data has been exported and analyzed using tools such as VOSviewer, Publish or Perish (PoP) and Microsoft Excel. The results showed that most publications were in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The most significant contributors that published the most research documents were Doctor, G. and Ifijeh, G by the author (4 publications), Universität de Barcelona by Institution (5 publications), English by language (97,5%), United States of America by country (64,04%), Journal of Library Philosophy and Practice by titles (22 publications). This study found the article ''evolving academic library specialties'' written by Cox and Corrall as the most cited publication. Moreover, based on the results of network visualization mapping, study on research data on institutional repository was divided into six main themes: managing research data; development Institutional Repository in developing country; implementation of user education program towards Institutional Repository; developed digital library using institutional repository; user behaviour towards Institutional Repository; essential of the Institutional Repository towards institutions and society.

“…The study similarly could not find clear evidence of the implementation of digital preservation in the papers studied. Studies on the implementation status of IRs in developing countries often report on the lack of policies and/or enforcement of it and unskilled staff as main factors for ensuring a successful implementation (Rafiq, 2022). It cannot be denied that these policies should include matters of sustainability too.…”

Purpose This study aims to validate a proposed conceptual model for the implementation of sustainable institutional repositories (IRs) in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approach shaped the survey research design. This study used structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis to evaluate the proposed model. The population of the study comprises 117 librarians, information technology staff and researchers knowledgeable about IR implementation status across 14 public universities in Nigeria. The data was collected using an online survey. The Smart-PLS v3.3 software was used to facilitate the analysis. Findings The findings indicate that the nine identified factors of the IR sustainability model have a significant influence on the implementation of sustainable IRs. This signified that the model has adequately depicted the relationship between the implementation of sustainable IRs and the identified factors. Originality/value This study provides an integrated synthesis of factors that influence the implementation of sustainable IRs. This study also presents the first-ever empirically validated model for sustainable IRs. The findings of this study addressed the challenge of implementing sustainable IRs and institutionalized the idea of IRs’ sustainability assessment.

“…OpenDOAR having universal recognition is a reliable and trustworthy directory of OARs from many countries worldwide. Rafiq (2022) highlighted that the OA culture is escalating at a rapid pace across the globe, and DOAR showcases that a total of 5,688 digital repositories were known at the global level in May 2021. The repositories in OpenDOAR across the globe are increasing continuously, showing a positive attitude towards the OA moment.…”

Purpose Open-access repositories (OARs) are essential for openly disseminating intellectual knowledge on the internet and providing free access to it. The current study aims to evaluate the growth and development of OARs in the field of technology by investigating several characteristics such as coverage, OA policies, software type, content type, yearly growth, repository type and geographic contribution. Design/methodology/approach The directory of OARs acts as the source for data harvesting, which provides a quality-assured list of OARs across the globe. Findings The study found that 125 nations contributed a total of 4,045 repositories in the field of research, with the USA leading the list with the most repositories. Maximum repositories were operated by institutions having multidisciplinary approaches. The DSpace and Eprints were the preferred software types for repositories. The preferred upload content by contributors was “research articles” and “electronic thesis and dissertations”. Research limitations/implications The study is limited to the subject area technology as listed in OpenDOAR; therefore, the results may differ in other subject areas. Practical implications The work can benefit researchers across disciplines and, interested researchers can take this study as a base for evaluating online repositories. Moreover, policymakers and repository managers could also get benefitted from this study. Originality/value The study is the first of its kind, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, to investigate the repositories of subject technology in the open-access platform.
