[LIS-Forum] Six Barriers for Open Access Repositories.

[Sukhdev Singh]

>From the following paper, I could infer that there are six barriers to Open 
Access Repositories. 

[Gerard van Westrienen and Clifford A. Lynch (2005). Academic Institutional 
Repositories: Deployment Status in 13 Nations as of Mid 2005, D-Lib 
Magazine, 11(9), 
http://www.dlib.org/dlib/september05/westrienen/09westrienen.html ] 

These are:

ONE--Confusion, Uncertainty and Fear on Copyright Issues.

TWO--Doubts regarding Who and How the deposited material would be used. 

THREE--Doubts on getting proper attribution, impact factors and scholarly 
credit.

FOUR--Myth of low quality material in institutional repositories. 

FIVE--Unfriendly submission procedures

SIX--lack of mandatory provisions in the policies of institutions or funding 
organizations to deposit the outcome of academic research. 


We should strive to overcome these barriers, but How!!?
