Abstract

Institutional repositories have been underused, due to, among other factors, doubts about how to deposit and unfriendly designs with little added value. This study analyses the presence and characteristics of the value-added services offered by the institutional repositories of Spanish public universities in 2024 and compares them with the data from 2017. A checklist with 25 items structured in three dimensions was used: “Information about the repository”, “Information about the records”, “Use and dissemination”. The results show a certain improvement in value-added services compared to the data from seven years ago, although a great heterogeneity between the repositories is still observed and there are widespread value-added services, mainly those related to information about the repository, while others are only offered by a few repositories, such as those related to information about the records.
