Context and motivation
Evaluate processes related with the preservation, dissemination and
knowledge search through open access repositories, it´s gives us the
opportunity to improve the experience of users that are immersed in different
processes and allows to know the level the users’ experience when perform
tasks like manage, disseminate and seek resources inside open access
repository by integrating Discovery Tools.

PROFILES
1. For Librarians: Management information.
2. For Researchers: Dissemination of open educational
resources (OER) about sustainability energy.
3. For Everyone: Central Point for seekers of OER of
sustainability energy.
Context and motivation

7. Research question
TEEM16 - Doctoral Consortium
What is the relationship that exists between the
interface’s usability of a open access repository with
discovery tools and the experience of them users
involved to the use it, in accordance with their
characteristics and motivations?

8. Hypothesis:
TEEM16 - Doctoral Consortium
Design a prototype usability of a open
access repository with Discovery Tools that
preserves educational resources of energy
sustainability, increases the experience of
users who are involved in their processes.

9. Research objectives
TEEM16 - Doctoral Consortium
- This research aims to develop a usability evaluation
prototype which will offer new insights in the design of the
information architecture.
- The results aims contribute with new criteria and
parameters for provide flexible interfaces, specifically for
the web repositories, as a component of the technological
ecosystem of the scientific activity

Research approach
and methods
• Mixed design method
• Population and simple: 15 participants, 5 by each type of profile, to
detect the 100% of them problems (more important) in them different
processes of each one (manager, depositary and finder), and will be
distributed in different moments of the process of development.
• Study Variables: Discovery Tools (DT), User experience design, Usability
Evaluation.
• Instruments and techniques: Study Competitive, surveys, focus group.

14. TEEM16 - Doctoral Consortium
Stages
First Stage
• Competitive reports, documentation templates, diagrams, workflows,
architecture information and design interactive.
Second Stage
• Usability evaluation for tree moments.
• Current version
• Validation
• New interface
Third stage
• Surveys: Identify the profiles of users, them needs, expectative and
motivations for present final results.

15. Current and expected

NEED
NEED
NEED
Provide a friendly interface that integrates features of science 2.0
for management and dissemination of scientific research.
Integration of the characteristics of the discovery tools and the
compatibility with the standards of the open access repositories.
Link people to share information, resources and documents with
others.
Considering new trends in information management, interoperability,
usability standards, its possible to know the motivations and
characteristics of users that use an open access repository.

16. DISSERTATION
STATUS
TEEM16 - Doctoral Consortium
The thesis is in the first stage, which involves the
analysis of the context of the repository and the
documentation of the processes of management,
storage and dissemination of the educational resources
of energy sustainability. The theoretical framework of
the first construct of this research, seeks to validate the
criteria of evaluation of the Discovery Tools free or
licensed and update them so that these features are
integrated in the repository.
