Hello, I'm Alma Swan,
I'm the Convener for
Enabling Open Scholarship,
which is an organization
of university managers
interested in
promoting open access
and I'm the Director
of Key Perspectives Ltd,
a small consultancy specializing
in scholarly communication.
And my talk is about
institutional repositories.
0:22
What are digital
repositories then?
They're collections
of research material
in digital form
and they're usually
institutionally-based,
that is in research universities
and research institutions.
Though, we do have
some subject-based
or discipline-based
repositories too,
which have a more
centralized role of course.
They're interoperable
and I will be
talking a little bit more about
interoperability later
in this talk.
But because
they are interoperable,
they form a network
across the world
and by doing that,
they create a global database
of research that is accessible
to all, its open access.
Currently, there are over
2,000 of these repositories
and they have been growing
in number very rapidly
over the last few years.
1:12
This chart shows
the growth of repositories
over the last few years.
It's taken from
the OpenDOAR service
which monitors
and records repositories,
where they are,
which software they use,
and so forth.
You'll see that the growth
curve has been quite steep.
And if you do the math,
you'll find that
between one and
one and a half repositories
has been built every working
day over the last few years.
This is because research-based
institutions see the value
in having a repository
for all sorts of reasons.
And I shall be recounting
those reasons later in the talk.
