clientele through a single window. Having no a priori
knowledge of preference of users to publish in IRs, we
expect that more researchers, who are relatively less
established, are expected to deposit their work in IRs for
quick dissemination and comments of their work. Data
analysis of deposition of documents in IRs by Users is presented
in Table 6.
It is very important to note that, as shown in Table 6,
that a majority of both groups (53.42% of Faculty members
and 66.78% of Research scholars) do not deposit their
research publications in IRs. The first preference of Faculty
members and Research Scholars may not be posting in IRs
for various reasons. One reason may well be that the
reward systems that give highest priority to scholarly
publishing in peer-reviewed journals. IRs often do not get
the same weight for salary increases and promotions that
scholarly refereed journals do. Another reason, as revealed
by Faculty members in this study, for reluctance in depositing
their publications in IRs is the fear of plagiarism. On
the other hand, a majority of Students (69.84%) indicated
their preference to posting their reports, dissertations,
etc., on IRs even before publication in peer-reviewed
journals. This may be because Students could be uncertain
about their research output being published in
refereed journals, at least in the early stages of their
academic careers, so their first preference is publishing in
IRs. The results are according to our expectations. In order
