“…OARs can be built using two primary types of software: open source and proprietary. Open-source software is freely available, and the source code is openly accessible, allowing developers to modify and improve the software (Quinn, 2022; Novak and Day, 2018). Examples of open-source repository software include DSpace, EPrints and Fedora.…”

“…Examples of open-source repository software include DSpace, EPrints and Fedora. Proprietary software, on the other hand, is owned by a specific company or organization, and the source code is not publicly accessible (Quinn, 2022; Novak and Day, 2018). Examples of proprietary repository software include “Digital Commons” and “Islandora”.…”

“…The interface may include features such as advanced search options, browsing by subject and filtering by date or author. The back-end architecture typically consists of a database that stores the metadata and digital files of the content (Quinn, 2022; Novak and Day, 2018; Marsh et al , 2017; Hixson and Cracknell, 2007). In addition to the front-end and back-end architectures, OARs may also include middleware, which provides additional functionality and services, such as authentication and access control, metadata harvesting and interoperability with other systems (Quinn, 2022; Novak and Day, 2018).…”

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.

“…While some academics and researchers do submit their work through the submission form, the majority are unresponsive (Lam and Chan 2007). Despite the passage of more than a decade, as highlighted by Abrizah (2009) and more recently by Quinn (2023), faculty uptake has remained reluctant in spite of various innovative approaches and promotional efforts. As a result, the repository has experienced limited expansion and sluggish growth in the number of contents being deposited.…”

Various strategies have been developed to ensure the success of the critical and challenging process of recruiting content for institutional repositories. This article presents an in-depth exploration of content recruitment strategies used by three Malaysian higher learning institutions in their institutional repositories. Through interviews with nine repository librarians, the study investigates the various methods used to acquire content, including mediated deposit, self-archiving, and promotion activities. The study reveals that setting up content deposit as a quality objective and key performance indicator (KPI) is a new and effective strategy used among the three case studies. The findings provide valuable insights into the approaches taken by these institutions to recruit content and offer practical guidelines for academic librarians in general. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on institutional repository management, highlighting the importance of implementing effective content recruitment strategies to ensure the success and sustainability of these repositories.
