With the understandings on users' needs and behaviors of university institutional repositories, the purpose of this study is to investigate the user behaviors and to provide some suggestions to improve the university institutional repository. To achieve the purpose of this study, a questionnaires survey was conducted with users in three university institutional repositories including KOSAS, S-Space and DSpace@INHA. Based on the results of the survey analyses, possible improvement areas and suggestions were made such as users' recognition, access point, searching environment, and utilization of university institutional repository.

본 연구에서는 물리, 생명분야 연구자들의 인구사회학적 특성이 기관리포지터리 수용의도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 이를 정보공유와 확산의 장으로 기관리포지터리를 활용할 수 있는 전략 수립의 근거자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 관련 문헌자료 조사, 설문조사와 심층면담을 수행한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기관리포지터리 인지경로는 도서관과 모체기관의 홍보, 동료들의 추천순으로 나타났다. 둘째, 연구자의 학술정보자원 공유는 면대면이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 그다음으로 오픈액세스 기반 기관리포지터리, 연구그룹단위 웹사이트 순이었다. 셋째, 학술정보자원 유형별 공개는 심사후 학술논문이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 실험데이터에 대한 공개의사는 매우 저조한 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 학술정보자원의 공개를 통해 연구자들은 연구성과에 대한 인정, 우선권확보, 연구역량 강화에 대한 기대감, 취업에 대한 기대감, 중복연구 가능성 축소를 기대하고 있었다. 향후 다양한 학문분야별 연구자의 특성과 행태분석을 통해 주제분야별 특성이 반영된 기관리포지터리 개발이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

This study investigated and analyzed operating policies and status of the best practices repository in the world to propose the successful strategies of management and establishment of repository. The best practices were selected from the top 10 of the Ranking Web of World Repositories by CSIC and Registry of Open Access Repositories by JISC. These repositories fell into two rough classes, disciplinary and institutional repositories. Policies on operation and support, collection, management, distribution and information services, long-term preservation, technology and copyright were analyzed. Characteristic of disciplinary and institutional repository policies were also identified.

The purpose of this study is to identify the current status of institutional research data repositories in the field of science and technology and to suggest ways to activate them. The study conducted literature research, case analysis, and interviews with repository managers both domestically and internationally. The study suggested strategies with a focus on establishing repository regulations and policies, improving awareness of research data sharing, and enhancing research data quality management. First, in terms of repository regulations and policy establishment, it was considered necessary to promote the status of the National R&D Information Processing Standards, a regulation related to research data, and clarify repository basis regulations. Second, to enhance awareness of research data sharing, the need for comprehensive research data education and the identification of exemplary cases were suggested. Third, in terms of strengthening research data quality management, the need for preparation for interaction between researchers-persons in charge-committees, standardization work, and long-term preservation was suggested.

For the spread of the open access institutional repository in Korea, this study aims to analyze the factors affecting the acceptance of the repository. To gather the research data, a questionnaire survey was conducted for acceptance and non-acceptance institutions of the open access repositories. The questionnaire consisted of questions based on the revised R-TDM. Integrated Technology Diffusion Model is a theory that seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new technology and innovations spread through specific factors and cultures. According to the data analyzing, technology acceptance level of social factors was turned out the most effective factors to make a decision to accept the repository to their institutions. And institution factors, innovation resistance factors, and system factors were arranged in order of strong influence. This study will provides the basis for developing policies for dissemination and spread of repositories in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to develop an adoptive model of institutional repositories (IRs) by identifying the key factors affecting adoptive intention of IRs and explaining the relations among these factors. Through a survey of 270 researchers and 12 in-depth interviews in the field of physics, mathematics, and life science in Korea, performance expectancy, perceived risks, socio-organizational influence, and individual characteristics were found to have substantial influences on the adoptive intention of IRs. Among the key factors, individual characteristics showed the greatest effect on the adoptive intention of IRs, followed by performance expectancy and other socio-organizational influences except for the perceived risks. Strategies to enhance the adoptive intention of IRs based on analyses of the results were suggested, in terms of the reformation of research assessment system at the national level, strengthening of role of the operational institution, and the need for voluntary scientists-participating service.

This study analyzes the effect of A university's institutional repository(A-IR) which performs as a gateway of university research. This research presents A-IR's operational policy and usage analyses which consist of visits, pageviews, demographics and behaviors of visitors, frequency of visits and traffic sources. On the basis of this analyses, this research found the correlations between usage of IR and citations of research papers.

This study attempts to measure visibility and impact of university repositories in South Korea with the help of web-sites, OpenDOAR, ROAR and RWR. Further understanding the self-archiving status of South Korea, the analysis results were compared with the reputation and power of major Asian countries' university repositories. The results showed that only nine institutional repositories of the universities in South Korea were active. There was only one South Korean university repository in the RWR top 500. All the other repositories ranked in bottom level. However, among Asian countries, Japan and Taiwan have established many institutional repositories. They had 257 and 52 repositories respectively. Fortunately, some leading university repositories in South Korea began activating self-archiving with the help of linking their own research outputs management system. Also, the attempts by other South Korean university repositories expect a substantial quantitative growth in the near future.

본 연구는 국내 D-Space 기반의 11개 리포지터리에 구축된 콘텐츠 현황을 두가지 관점에서 조사하고 분석하였다. 각 리포지터리에 구축된 콘텐츠의 더블린코어(DC) Type 유형을 추출하여 그 현황을 조사하였으며, 2,500여 콘텐츠들을 무작위 샘플링하여 원문 구축현황 및 유형을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 각 리포지터리에는 표준화되지 않은 다양한 Type 유형을 자체적으로 사용하고 있었으며, 원문을 제공하는 방식 또한 다양하게 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 각 기관별로 사용하는 39가지의 Type 유형을 9개 유형으로 병합한 기준을 제시하고, 향후 리포지터리 콘텐츠를 수집하는 측면에서 품질관리 정책 수립을 위한 제언과 시스템 구축을 위한 워크플로우를 제시하였다.

OAK(Open Access Korea) is a national repository project to support free access to Korea's open access knowledge information. However various problems and limitations are recognized when organizing and sharing metadata with OAK-IR system. This study aims to suggest a modified metadata standard to improve the quality of OAK metadata. To the end, this study analyzed all metadata elements used by OAK participating organizations and compared the metadata with the metadata of other typical repository systems. In details, metadata organized in 17 OAK participating organizations were analyzed with their metadata specifications, input data examples, and practitioner interviews. And a case study on DSpace, EPrints, BEPress, ETD-db, dCollection was conducted. The final modified OAK metadata elements were suggested through group discussion and coordination by the practitioners of OAK participating organizations, OAK supervisors, and the developers of OAK-IR system.
