Jingfeng Xia

xiaji@iupui.edu

Research Interests: I am interested in topics on the management of digital repositories. My recent research focused on assessing the success of self-archiving in the current practice of disciplinary and institutional repositories. Unlike previous assessment studies that obtained data from interviewing faculty and other users face-to-face and from faculty responses on questionnaires, my research evaluated the status of each actual deposit including such information as its depositorship, full-text availability, version, type and subject area. It is my hope that the necessary information about existing strategies of self-archiving and their successful attributes will be able to identify the best practices and provide guidelines for repository managers to adjust their policies for recruiting more and better content, making their institutional repositories useful and sustainable.
