How Am I Doing? A Framework For Ir Benchmarking, Ann Connolly Apr 2015

How Am I Doing? A Framework For Ir Benchmarking, Ann Connolly

Ann Connolly

A number of new rubrics purport to rank repositories against each other, as if to file them into a neat line from most to least successful. What are these rubrics actually measuring, though, and do they reflect how the institutional repository (IR) community measures its own success? With nearly 400 repositories as a sample group, we looked at how the IR community typically measures progress and compared that with three different ranking systems to see how they matched up. The results suggest that we need a new, platform-agnostic framework that allows institutions to measure themselves against their own unique missions …

Library-Led Publishing Data And Benchmarks: Journal Data Collected From The Digital Commons Platform, Casey Busher, Irene Kamotsky, Ann Taylor Jul 2014

Library-Led Publishing Data And Benchmarks: Journal Data Collected From The Digital Commons Platform, Casey Busher, Irene Kamotsky, Ann Taylor

Ann Connolly

The Digital Commons community launched 156 journals in 2013, putting the total number of journals published across all Digital Commons repositories at almost 700, including law reviews. These numbers speak to the success of library-led publishing efforts, and there is much more to discover by exploring the journals’ publishing history and performance data in more detail. This poster presents detailed data from across all journals hosted on Digital Commons. We show how publishing rates and readership vary within the community and how these trends can be used to derive target activity levels for new journals. We also look at publishing …

Who's Afraid Of Repository Rankings? How To Define And Measure Institutional Repository Success Apr 2014

Who's Afraid Of Repository Rankings? How To Define And Measure Institutional Repository Success

Ann Connolly

As institutional repositories grow and thrive, many institutions are eager to quantify and benchmark their hard work and success. The proposal presented in this workshop is intended to serve as a starting point for the creation of a simple and measurable set of IR success metrics that would serve the needs of the broad community of repository managers and stakeholders. The benchmarking models being presented in this workshop come from analyzing deposit and activity data from hundreds of repositories, and are founded upon in-depth interviews with repository managers about their goals. The aim of this workshop is to create platform-agnostic …
