Institutional Repositories in Thai Universities

Abstract Institutional Repositories(IR) are infrastructures that ensure accessibility, stability and reliability of research data which requires policies, standards, and data management plan to deposit research data. The scholarly community needs reliable long-term access to research data. The data curation is important for the research community to develop a strategy for long term-use throughout its lifecycle, from creation, storage and dissemination to the time when it is archive. This paper describes an overview of the institutional repositories in Thai universities regarding the issues of the responsible units, the open access policy, the typology of repositories, the digital repositories structure, the catalog description, the format of research output, and the web portal. It also suggests the schemes for facilitating discovery and re-use of research data such as the national research data service and the registry of research data repositories.

机构知识库（Institutional Repository，IR）是保障科研数据可访问性、稳定性与可靠性的基础设施，其运行需依托政策、标准与数据管理计划，实现科研数据的入库存储。学术共同体亟需可靠的科研数据长期获取途径。数据管护对于学术共同体而言至关重要，可助力其制定贯穿科研数据全生命周期的长期使用策略，涵盖数据创建、存储、传播直至归档的全流程。本文概述了泰国高校机构知识库的发展现状，涉及责任主体、开放获取政策、知识库类型、数字知识库架构、目录著录规范、科研成果格式及门户网站建设等议题。此外，本文还提出了助力科研数据发现与复用的相关方案，例如国家科研数据服务平台及科研数据仓储注册系统。
