Abstract

How can we ensure the relevance of institutional repositories in the current climate of emerging social network platforms and storage solutions for publications and research data? One answer is to make sure the repository is an integral part of the institution's research infrastructure and to provide enhancements that will benefit the academics in promoting their research. This poster presentation provides a snapshot at how this can be achieved, using the institutional repository at James Cook University as an example. The repository is embedded into a number of workflows within the University, including academic promotions, Research Portfolio (i.e., researcher profiles) and publication reporting (e.g., Excellence in Research for Australia – ERA). This approach, together with user education, collaboration and repository enhancements to facilitate the sharing of research outputs, increases the academics' awareness of open access and the repository as a tool to promote their research and encourages repository use within the university.
