“…The above findings were confirmed by Moskovin et al (2021), 11 who conducted a systematic quantitative analysis to evaluate open access instruments and initiatives and developed a methodology for calculating the involvement of countries in the open access movement. They concluded that scientists from low-income countries are more motivated than those from high-income countries to publish their articles in open access journals or platforms partially because their articles may be poorly cited, if not accessible publicly.…”

This article presents an overview of open access initiatives by researchers, journals, government bodies, and regulatory authorities. Open access initiatives are valuable to the scientific community and have increased the amount of clinical research information available to the general public. Sharing this information in a manner that is understood by those without scientific training is important. This article discusses plain language summaries, their requirements and benefits, and what additional steps should be taken to improve transparency in clinical research.

“…The significant growth of IRs in HEIs in the field of scholarly communication has been ascertained by Ntim and Fombad (2020). Moskovkin et al (2021) have also studied the growth pattern of IRs. They portray a promising figure of IRs.…”

“…OARs, the digital scholarly archives which mandate green road to OA, have become the technological hubs to host free content from organizations all across the globe. Keeping in view the beneficial aspects of OARs for researchers, scholars and OA advocates, their mushrooming growth has been witnessed all across the globe (Ahmed et al, 2014; Bhat, 2010; Chantavaridou, 2009; Loan and Sheikh, 2016; Melero et al, 2009; Moskovkin et al, 2021; Pinfield et al, 2014; Siviwe, 2018b; van Westrienen and Lynch, 2005; Wani et al, 2009). The race has now become unstoppable because they reflect one of the brightest and most excellent sides of the open scholarly publication process.…”

The article tries to highlight the evolution and conceptual framework of institutional repositories and their impact on the academic and scholarly circles in terms of better visibility, wider audience and earlier communication of research. The characteristics associated with the institutional repositories are also highlighted, which makes them stand out from the crowd in the family of open access scholarly platforms. The study is based on the examination and evaluation of the articles published across various peer-reviewed journals showcasing numerous dimensions of institutional repositories, ranging from their evolution to open scholarly acceptance. A preliminary search on institutional repositories was carried through two well-renowned indexing/abstracting databases of peer-reviewed literature, Clarivate Analytic’s, Web of Science and Elsevier’s Scopus. Search terms like institutional repositories, institutional research output, open access repositories, green open access, open access, open access publishing, open access initiatives, digital libraries, directory of open access repositories, open DOAR and scholarly communication were run across the databases for article retrieval, and the relevant studies were extracted accordingly. To make the study more comprehensive and current, the studies citing the retrieved articles were also consulted. The study reveals that the benefits associated with institutional repositories are manifold. They recounter users with the information which was otherwise unavailable due to the reasons ranging from the non-availability of supplementary information (like unpublished reports and working papers, multimedia and audiovisual items, learning objects, other special item types, bibliographic references, datasets, lecture notes and so forth) to the paywall/subscription models adopted by commercial channels of scholarly communication. Furthermore, the social, research and technological factors tend to be the main motivating factors for their wider acceptance by the scholarly community at global, national, organizational, and individual levels. They enhance the preservation of institutional research output with increased viewership and prestige apart from achieving a potential research impact. They, in a real sense, have abrogated the unilateral assault orchestrated by the commercial publishers on the author community by democratizing their scholarly voices via open and barrierless scholarly platforms. They are the future of the academic output of an institution/author as they perform successfully within the constitutional boundaries of scholarly and academic publishing, thus safeguarding the rights and claims of every academic actor. Given the importance of institutional repositories for a more democratic, barrierless and impactful information communication, they are for sure going beyond various scholarly circles by breaking the traditional and rigid walls of scholarly endeavours. The study presents a useful overview of the progression of the institutional repositories, their intended purpose and how they serve to fill the gaps in scholarly publishing and meet the needs of the wider academic community. The article summarizes in one place a concise overview of the use and impact of institutional repositories. The study is also an eye-opener for scholars interested in the research in the field of institutional repositories.

“…In addition to the disciplinary differences, there are large disparities between countries in OA adoption (Martín-Martín et al, 2018). Unfortunately, there is limited awareness of OA publishing in Israel and there is no policy or legislation regarding OA publishing issues (Moskovkin et al, 2021)., The aim of this study was to formulate and validate a comprehensive research model regarding the acceptance and usage of OA in Israel, and to determine the factors that lead Israeli researchers to publish in OA journals and repositories. Thus, the current study examined Israeli researchers' perceptions, attitudes, and awareness from various research disciplines concerning scientific publications in OA journals and repositories, in order to determine which of these factors influence researchers' behavioral intentions.…”

PurposeThe current study examined Israeli researchers from various disciplines concerning their perceptions, attitudes and awareness of scientific publications in open access (OA) journals and repositories.Design/methodology/approachA survey instrument was developed and distributed to 202 Israeli researchers from universities, colleges and research institutions. The study used the united theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model as a tool for mapping the factors known to influence researchers to publish in OA journals and repositories.FindingsThe empirical model confirmed the mediating effect of the association between researchers’ perceptions and the actual publishing in OA, through their behavioral intentions (BI). Furthermore, the BI are mediated by researchers’ self-decision to publish in OA. More specifically, a researcher's publication level in OA depended not only on the positive attitudes (Atti), performance expectancy (PE) and social influence (SI) mediated by BI, but also on conditions that support researchers who publish in OA, and disciplinary affiliation to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) which lead the researcher to voluntarily publish in both green and gold OA.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributed to the cumulative understanding of OA publishing by formulating and validating an empirical research model of acceptance and use.Practical implicationsThe implications of the findings for scientific publication theory and practices are discussed.Originality/valueThe study suggests an effective framework to understand the researcher's final decision to publish in OA. This study's results are an essential step towards the cumulative understanding of OA publicity adoption and use by researchers as a global issue in general and in Israeli academic institutions in particular.
