  1. Webometric Ranking of Institutional Repositories in India By Mr. Samir Kumar Jalal Asst. Librarian Birla Institute of Technology Mesra, Ranchi

  2. Points to be Discussed • Institutional Repository (IR) • Need of IR • Research Questions • Methodology • Results • Conclusion

  3. Need of IR • To support Open Access Initiatives; • To encourage the web publication; • To archive institutional knowledge and make it available through intranet;

  4. Need for Webometric Ranking • To measure the global visibility and impact of scientific repositories; • To know the relative position of a particular IR; • To evaluate the present status of IR at the state level, national level and at the global level;

  5. Research Questions • How does global visibility for institution’s scholarship measure? • Is it possible to find out the web presence of Indian institutional repositories? • How to develop the ranking system for Indian institutional repositories? • Is it possible to know highly used software in Indian institutional repositories?

  6. Methodology • Selection of Institutional Repositories • Collection of URLs • Selection of Search Engines • Collection of Data • Choice of Indicators for Ranking IR • Normalization of Data • Calculation of Rank Index

  7. Selection of IRs • OpenDOAR: an authoritative directory of academic open access repositories. There are 52 IRs . http://www.opendoar.org/ • ROAR: 73 institutional repositories in India are listed under Registry of Open Access Repository. http://roar.eprints.org

  8. Choice of Indicators

  9. Normalization of Data • Based on each indicator, all the selected IRs are arranged in descending order of magnitude and assigned a rank for them.

  10. Calculation of Rank Index Index Value may be calculated as: 20%.S + 40%.V + 15%.R + 15%.Sc + 5%.Ri + 5%.D Where, S= Size, V= Visibility, Sc= Google Scholar, Ri= Rich Files & D= Duration

  11. Results • Web presence of IRs in India • Top Ten Indian IRs based on WISER Ranking • Top Ten Indian IRs based on Modified WISER • Top five software used in institutional repositories in India • Choice of Content WISER= Web Indicators for Science Technology & Innovation (www.wiserweb.org)

  12. Top Ten IRs in India

  13. Top Five IR Software

  14. Conclusion • To maximize the visibility of institution’s research outputs. • The authors’ visibility increases if their research outputs are available through open access institutional repositories. • Institutional visibility increases resulting into an increase in world rank of the institutes. • IR may be at global level, institutional level and departmental level.

  15. Thank you
