abstract |
Usage statistics are frequently used by repositories to justify their value to the
management who decide about the funding to support the repository infrastructure.
Another reason for collecting usage statistics at repositories is the increased use
of webometrics in the process of assessing the impact of publications and researchers.
Consequently, one of the worries repositories sometimes have about their content being
aggregated is that they feel aggregations have a detrimental effect on the accuracy
of statistics they collect. They believe that this potential decrease in reported
usage can negatively influence the funding provided by their own institutions. This
raises the fundamental question of whether repositories should allow aggregators to
harvest their metadata and content. In this paper, we discuss the benefits of allowing
content aggregations harvest repository content and investigate how to overcome the
drawbacks. |
