A Bibliometric Analysis of the Trends and Themes of Using Institutional Repositories to Manage Research Data

Open access
This paper explored a trend analysis related to Institutional Repository research from 2000 until October 2023. This research aims to determine: (1) the present publication trends and evolvement in the institutional repository's management of research data; (2) the most effective authors and institutions in the institutional repository's management of research data; (3) the most cited papers on institutional repository research data management; and (4) the major keywords and subjects related to the institutional repository's management of research data. The data was obtained through the Scopus database with the keywords institutional AND repository*OR open AND access OR scholarly AND communication OR digital AND library* OR research AND management. For analysis purposes, the selected year is 2000 to 2023. The search resulted in 309 documents and became 285 documents after screening. The data has been exported and analyzed using tools such as VOSviewer, Publish or Perish (PoP) and Microsoft Excel. The results showed that most publications were in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The most significant contributors that published the most research documents were Doctor, G. and Ifijeh, G by the author (4 publications), Universität de Barcelona by Institution (5 publications), English by language (97,5%), United States of America by country (64,04%), Journal of Library Philosophy and Practice by titles (22 publications). This study found the article ‘‘evolving academic library specialties’’ written by Cox and Corrall as the most cited publication. Moreover, based on the results of network visualization mapping, study on research data on institutional repository was divided into six main themes: managing research data; development Institutional Repository in developing country; implementation of user education program towards Institutional Repository; developed digital library using institutional repository; user behaviour towards Institutional Repository; essential of the Institutional Repository towards institutions and society. This study recommended a study towards user acceptance and self-archiving for Malaysian polytechnic Institutional Repository for further studies.
