12.2% of Institutional Digital Repositories Have Established Their Own Peer Review Networks to Challenge Traditional For-profit Educational Publishers
New York, New York (PRWEB) January 27, 2014 -- The study charts the growth of digital repositories and the move of some of them into early forms of academic publishing. Initially, most repositories were shoe-string operations funded with grants or tiny institutional budgets. While this is still true of many, those of many major research universities have mean budgets of $200,000 and often have hundreds of thousand of annual visitors downloading millions of items per year. Some repositories now have their own publishing operations and, in the sample, about 15% of repositories had an active epublishing program and the mean number of book titles published for this sample was more than 17 annually.
