IDR@NITKS launched by Chairman, BoG

slider4 Dr. K. Balaveera Reddy, Chairperson of Board of Governors of NITK, Surathkal has launched the Institutional Digital Repository of NITK, Surathkal (IDR@NITKS) on 6th July 2018. IDR@NITKS established using DSpace open source software on Linux platform, where all the publications (journal articles, book chapters, conference papers, project reports, book reviews, invited talks, etc.) of the NITKS community will be stored in the repository and the digital collection will be available for search through various key access points like author, title, subject etc.

This service enables the Institute community to archive their preprints, post prints and other scholarly publications. In keeping with the objectives of the open access movement, NITKS expect this service to facilitate the institute researchers in self archiving and long-term preservation of their scholarly publications, provide easy access to these publications world-wide and improve impact of their research. While IDR@NITKS can be accessed by anybody, submission of documents to this archive is limited to the NITKS community.

This intuitional repository also helps to get the research output of the institute widely disseminated. This will enhance the institute reputation and thus its ability to attract high quality researchers and further research funds. Further, as the content in DSpace repository grows, it can contribute significantly to institutional knowledge management, for example, in terms of improved knowledge re-use and collaborative research.
