Abstract

INTRUDUCTION: In recent years, some universities and research institutions have built Institutional repositories. These repositories save, preserve and give access to research works authored by students and researchers. As access to repository resources through search engines is important, Indexing and Accessibility of repository resources of Iranian universities of medical sciences were compared in this study. METHODOLOGY: The study population included resources available in the organizational repositories of Iranian universities of medical sciences. These repositories were identified through the Directory of Open Access Repositories. In this directory, there were 9 repositories belonged to Iranian universities of medical sciences. Access to 2 repositories was not possible at the time of data collection, and resources were collected from 7 reminded repositories. The sample size was determined based on Morgan Table. Sampling was implemented through simple stratified sampling approach. 54 resources of each repository were chosen to form the sample. The systematic observation was utilized to collect data. Data were analyzed descriptively by using Chi-square test. FINDINGS: More than 60% of the resources in the repositories of Iranian universities of medical sciences are full text, and there is a significant difference in access to the full text of the resources among the repositories. The results demonstrated that the Indexing of English resources is higher than that of Persian resources in Google search engine, while there is not a significant difference between English and Persian resources in terms of Indexing. However, there is a significant difference between English and Persian resources in terms of their Accessibility. There is a significant difference between the repositories of Iranian universities of medical sciences in terms of their Accessibility in Google. CONCLUSIONS: The results revealed that the Indexing of resources in Google does not guarantee their Accessibility in it. In terms of the availability of resources in Google, the repository of Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran ranked first, that of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences ranked second, and the repositories of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences and Bushehr University of Medical Sciences ranked third. However, in terms of Accessibility, the repository of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences ranked first and the repository of Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran ranked second and that of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences ranked third.
