| What's an institutional repository? |
It is a service in which academic research
carried out by people associated with an academic institute,
such as a university, is stored and accumulated on a database
and made available over the Internet to anyone, anytime.
Not only is this database accessible from the university that
created it, but from other databases as well.
There are already 788 institutes outside Japan that comprise
this system. (As of December 2006)
In Japan, there are major universities, including the 57 taking
part in the
next-generation scientific information resources infrastructure
project of the National Institute of Informatics (NII),
that have institutional repositories either in operation or
currently being built. |
