“Visibility” and “Application” of Research
• Roles of Institutional Repositories – then and now
• Broader context• Why we need to rethink “Open” and
“Knowledge”• “Putting the pieces together”• Development of scholarly APIs
![Page 4: Re-imagining the role of Institutional Repository in Open Scholarship](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/549366d0b47959c6348b46d4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Institutional Repository?
• Provide Open Access to published research (Green OA)
• Showcase an institution’s research outputs and other scholarly and teaching resources
• An “institutional commitment” to the stewardship of research outputs (Clifford Lynch 2003)
• A publishing platform and other value-added services for enhancing scholarly communication
• A research management system

Back in 2004Using our IR to • Support journal publishing by
faculty• Novel forms of publications in
the humanities and social sciences
• Archive out-of-print books• Provide access to teaching and
learning materials• Supporting international
publishing and knowledge circulation – community building

Of the 2,129 repositories in OpenDOAR with “size” data recorded, only 74 of them have more than 100,000 items, and 570, more than 10,000 items. Although the mean average of items in repositories is 66,526, the median number is only 3,093.Pinfield et al. (2014)

Why the lack of content in IRs?
• Low awareness among researchers? • Lack of incentives?• Confusion over rights?• Disciplinary differences?• Institutional commitment? • Other services outside of institutions?• OA journal publishing? • Open “everything”? (OER, Open data, open
government, open science…)

Open Science
“science carried out and communicated in a manner which allows others to contribute, collaborate and add to the research effort, with all kinds of data, results and protocols made freely available at different stages of the research process”

How to enable collective action?
Is there a collective vision?
What are the key enablers and barriers?

“Data is an essential commodity for life science research. Ten years ago, finding a connection between a gene and a characteristic such as drought tolerance or disease susceptibility could take years. Now it takes minutes.”

“So there are big data benefits in preventing diseases, cutting out unnecessary tests, or testing how effective new drugs and treatments actually are. Indeed, one study put the value of big data in US healthcare at over $300 billion a year.”Neelie KroesVP of the European Commission

Exploitative publishing regimes are symptomatic of larger problems in the distribution of wealth and power. The concentration of wealth that warps so much of our political and economic life will inevitably warp the Open Movement toward unintended and unwanted outcomes.

Development of Scholarly APIs
• Journal is embedded in a socio-political system of governance
• How to design knowledge governance system in an open networked environment?

Political Economy of Knowledge Circulation
• Beware of the “filter bubble”• Are we substituting one forms of circulation
with another that is equally, and even more restrictive, because it is largely invisible?
• Choice of tools and technology increasingly crucial, though surprisingly un-contested
• Digital underclass – those who have IDs and digital presence and and those without (e.g. DOI, ORCID, ImpactStory )

Knowledge as Public Goods Sustainability as a set of
institutional structures and processes that build and protect the knowledge commons (after Sumner 2005, Mook and Sumner 2010)
![Page 42: Re-imagining the role of Institutional Repository in Open Scholarship](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/549366d0b47959c6348b46d4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
. Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) Framework (from Ostrom, 2005)
“How do fallible humans come together, create communities and organizations, and make decisions and rules in order to sustain a resource or achieve a desired outcome?” (Hess 2005: 3)
![Page 43: Re-imagining the role of Institutional Repository in Open Scholarship](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/549366d0b47959c6348b46d4/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
“So while IRs may have an eventual impact on the economics of scholarly publishing, or the "affordability" problem, their primary and immediate role is in facilitating open access to traditional scholarship, as well as advancing, supporting, and legitimizing the broader spectrum of scholarly communications that is emerging in the electronic environment. By making available research generated in poor countries in addition to knowledge created in well-endowed institutions, IRs could play a role in bridging the global knowledge gap. Research institutions and universities have the primary mission of creating, sharing, and disseminating knowledge, which are public goods. Open access through institutional repositories is a low-cost and low-barrier strategy for achieving this mission.” (Chan 2014, pg 295)

Going forward
• Need to have more experimentations built on top of repositories
• But need to consider governance structure involving scholars from different disciplines and regions
