Open Access Repository

  1. An  interoperable  open  access  institutional  repository   for  ICRISAT  knowledge  products Open  Access  Repository July  2012 Overview ICRISAT’s  Open  Access   Repository  (OAR)   showcases  40  years  of   ICRISAT  publications   produced  by  our   researchers  and  scholars. The  repository  holds  post-­ prints  of  research  papers   published  in  journals;;   conference  papers;;  book   chapters;;  monographs;;   training  manuals;;  annual   reports  and  other   research  documents   produced  by  the  Institute. Anyone  with  internet   access  can  access  the   OAR,  which  provides   free,  immediate,   permanent  access  to   the  full  text  of  all  the   publications. Visit:  http://oar.icrisat.org The  Innovation O  The  ICRISAT  OAR   facilitates  online   access  to  all  major   research  publications. O  Users  can  employ   the  OAR  to  build   searches  by  choosing   various  access  points   and  search  features   within  them. O  Metadata  (data   about  the  data)  of   all  the  documents   in  the  repository  is   harvested  by  special   academic  search   services  such  as   Bielefeld  Academic   Search  Engine   (BASE)  and  OAIster,   and  is  indexed  by   popular  search   engines  such  as   Google  and  Google   Scholar.   The  Impact O  The  contents  of   OAR  form  part  of   AGRIS  –the  global   public  domain   agriculture  database,   and  VOA3R  –   the  Virtual  Open   Access  Agriculture   and  Aquaculture   Repository. O  As  of  July  2012   the  repository  had   registered  more  than   90,000  download   counts  from  more   than  75  countries. O  The  repository  has   recorded  over  3,500   unique  visitors  every   month  since  its  launch   on  2  May  2011. O  About  50%  of  the   users  of  the  repository   are  redirected  from   Google,  and  about   10%  are  directed  from   Google  Scholar. Manager,  Information  and  Library  Services,  M  Madhan,  doesn’t  have   to  open  a  book  anymore.  Several  thousand  ICRISAT  publications  are   available  at  desktops  through  OAR. No  barriers!  ICRISAT’s  research  output  is  available  to  all. The  stylistic  “Open  lock”  is  a  well-­chosen  logo  for  the  OAR.
