Institutional Repository Marketing: From Research to Knowledge Transfer

摘要

All research builds on former work and depends on scientists' possibilities to access and share scientific information. The advent of the internet and electronic publishing have resulted in unprecedented possibilities for the dissemination and exchange of information. Institutional repositories (IR) aim to improve and promote the dissemination of knowledge, thereby improving the efficiency of scientific discovery and maximising return on investment in R&D. This article reflects a study about the institutional repositories: what, where, when and how to deposit? It formulates a solution about the functionalities and automatic modules such an IR should have and standards it should use.
