Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve"> Abstract </x> </title> <p> <bold>Purpose</bold> – The purpose of this paper is to explore various types of research materials in Indian institutional repositories. <bold>Design/methodology/approach</bold> – The repositories are identified from the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR). The repository sites were visited to collect the data necessary for the study. <bold>Findings</bold> – The present study reveals that barring a few repositories the collections of most of the repositories are very low. The percentage of archived materials is high for journal papers, and moderate for conference papers/thesis. However it is very low for preprints/working papers, teaching resources and patents. <bold>Originality/value</bold> – The study provides an overview of archived material in institutional repositories in India.</p> <ack> <title> <x xml:space="preserve"> Acknowledgements </x> </title> <p>The author is highly grateful to the Editor and the referees for their helpful comments in editing this paper.</p> </ack> </abstract>
