INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORIES FOR SCHOLARLY COMMUNITIES IN THAILAND
Abstract
Scholarship and scholarly communications have been changed by evolving technolo-gies. For decades, scholars and institutions have difficulties in sharing and accessing their research output. General academics or even research authors have to pay for access to their own published work due to copyright issue with commercial journal publishers or vendors. Institutional repositories may be an
effective response to this problem. As a result, a number of academic institutions have established institutional repositories in order to manage and disseminate their intellectual assets. In Thailand, the concept of institutional repository has just emerged and is under development. This paper aims to
indicate the potential benefits of institutional repositories for the Thai scholarly community. We discuss the current states of institutional repositories in general and particularly in Thailand. Research challenges and suggestions for the development of future institutional repositories in Thailand are presented.
