Top-down mandates and advocacy will help institutional repositories continue to enhance open access content and delivery

Stewart, N. (2013). Top-down mandates and advocacy will help institutional repositories continue to enhance open access content and delivery. Paper presented at the Open Access Futures in the Humanities and Social Sciences, 24 Oct 2013, Senate House, University of London.

Abstract

Institutional repositories (IRs) can sometimes be perceived as a low-impact method of open access delivery. Neil Stewart explains how the rapidly changing scholarly communications ecosystem stands to greatly benefit from the continued development of repositories. The future of IRs looks bright, and they and the services built upon them will continue to assist academics, both as producers and consumers of academic literature.
