In contemporary information space, repository formation is one of the urgent tasks of libraries of scientific and educational institutions. Institutional repositories (IRs) provide unhindered access to scholarly works posted by scientists and specialists for general user, increasing the demand for the library's information resources.The article represents the review of foreign and domestic publications on the formation and development of institutional repositories. The authors consider the advantages of forming Open Access (OA) Repositories both among prospective authors and potential users: archiving and keeping materials in the IR up-to-date, ensuring visibility and possibility of using scientific research through global access, rapid dissemination of research results, increasing the citation of submitted materials, growth of prestige of the organization, the development of scientific communication, etc. The authors found out that placing publications in international archives (arXiv, BioXiv, etc.) or corporate projects (BASE, HathiTrust) has a greater impact on the visibility and potential citation of publications.The article identifies the problems of formation and use of repositories: labour intensity of content placement process, the complexity of data exchange, copyright management, the lack of incentives in providing information about their scientific work, the need for additional time and labour resources when maintaining the IR, the financial costs of maintaining the repository, and the difficulties of search in the IR. The authors note that the IR functionality depends on the software capabilities. The paper gives the examples of new generation repositories and presents their features: self-filling, automatic classification based on text mining and machine learning, data management processes between different systems, easy-to-use interfaces.

The issue of reflecting the scientific achievements of individual scientists and the results of research activities of research teams in the information environment is of great importance for many branches of science and practice, including medicine, where open data can improve the provision of medical care and influence healthcare policy. The effectiveness of search queries and the further effective use of the data obtained in research and practice, especially during epidemics and the treatment of serious diseases, largely depend on accessibility of medical information. Scientific repositories allow the management of all kinds of research results, integration with information systems, and compliance with the FAIR principles. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze development, indexing (in catalogs), visibility by search engines, type-specific characteristics, etc., of open access medical repositories in Russia and abroad. As a result, of the study, the following conclusions are made: 1) the number of repositories in the world is growing, including an increase in their number in the subject area “Medicine and Health”; 2) the infrastructure of Russian open access information platforms is being formed. However, open medical repositories are being developed poorly, most part of which is not represented in global catalogs (OpenDOAR) and is incompatible with the OAI-PMN standard, which allows the collection of data from repositories by various search engines. Thus, the research results are invisible in Internet search results, and Russian medical repositories are not present in the rankings of world repositories.

In order to study the composition and contentof repositories of scientific publications, to identify their functionality, 106 websites of domestic universities – members of the program«Priority-2030» have been monitored. The study has found that only 38% of the total quantity of institutions sites maintain publication repositories. At the same time, most of them include a small number of objects, or limited by the chronological framework.The search capabilities of repositories have been covered, as well as tools for managing search results. It has been determined that repositories mostly provide simple and advanced options for information retrieval, with the ability to use Boolean operators, endings shortening, faceted navigation, ranking search results. It has been found that not all repositories are equipped with instructions and recommendations on searching in them, which makes it difficult for inexperienced users to operate them.It has been revealed that the repository texts are provided with bibliographic metadata: as a rule, they are the author, the title, the imprint, and the source. However, some of them present more extended information: the detailed annotation, the abstract, the picture of the cover. The repositories are not equipped with linguistic tools, which prevents effective information search.It has been noted that the repositories studied are difficult to be found for a remote user. It is necessary to ensure their visibility, to provide information about existing repositories to potential users.In the conclusion, the benefits of creating repositories are enumerated: strengthening the authority of the institution, increasing the demand for library information resources, ensuring the visibility and accessibility of scientific and educational materials, and accelerating the knowledge exchange.
