“…They acquire, catalogue and preserve academic publications for users to access (Cullen and Chawner, 2011;Ma and Lee, 2017). Since the late 1970s, the development of academic research has contributed to an increasing number of academic publications (Koehler, 2006). This extension, along with the rapid development of the internet and the World Wide Web in the 1990s, prompted academic publications to flourish (Cullen and Chawner, 2011;Park, 1999).…”

“…This extension, along with the rapid development of the internet and the World Wide Web in the 1990s, prompted academic publications to flourish (Cullen and Chawner, 2011;Park, 1999). However, the increase in the price of academic publications has unfortunately introduced a "scholarly communication crisis" for scholars and librarians (Bhat, 2009;Koehler, 2006). In the 1990s, scholars struggled to solve this crisis by popularizing open access and self-archiving with limited outcomes.…”

Purpose This paper aims to provide a bibliometric study of journal articles related to institutional repositories in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) between January 1993 and August 2017. This study will provide researchers with a foundation for further research. Design/methodology/approach In this study, articles published were analyzed; titles were searched using the term “institutional repositories.” The data were evaluated in response to four research questions on the following topics: publication trends, prolific authors, core journals and times cited. Findings The results indicate that 124 articles on institutional repositories were authored by 223 individuals. These articles were cited 722 times in 37 journals, and the h-index provided by the Web of Science was 14. Research limitations/implications This study only investigated articles titled with institutional repositories in the SSCI. Other items were not included. Practical implications This study shows that the implementation of institutional repositories has been limited to library and information science. If they can be used broadly in different disciplines, a better outcome can be expected. Social implications Based on the findings, the growth of institutional repositories as an academic subject is likely to continue. If such discussions can be conducted in other disciplines, institutional repositories may be able to provide a more promising outcome to academia. Originality/value This paper is valuable for researchers who wish to examine the trends of institutional repositories in the SSCI and seek possible areas for further research.

Libraries have noticed the increasing quantity of journals being published, which has resulted in budgets for purchasing journals being changed.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a bibliometric study of journal articles in Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) related to open access journals. Publication trends from 1993 to 2016, core journals, prolific authors and article citation frequencies were examined to provide librarians and scholars with a basic reference of relevant resources. Design/methodology/approach Among articles published in journals which have been listed in SSCI during 1993-2016, titles were searched for the term “open access journal”. The data were evaluated in response to five research questions concerning topics including publication trends from 1993 to 2016, core journals, prolific authors and article citation frequencies. Findings In total, 115 articles on open access journals were authored by 215 individuals from 1993 to 2016. The 115 articles analyzed were cited 842 times in 57 journals. Originality/value This paper describes a bibliometric study on open access journal publication, which has rarely been performed within the specific context of document supply issues. It provides a foundation for further research on titles as well as resources for librarians and scholars.

“…Various approaches to open access have been tested and proposed. Archived preprints in institutional repositories (the green route) and online journals without subscription fees (the gold route) have been discussed and debated widely (e.g., Drott, 2006; Esposito, 2004; Harnad, 2003, 2006; Jacobs, 2006; Koehler, 2006; Regazzi, 2004; Swan, 2005; Willinsky, 2003).…”
