The Current Situation, Problems and Future Development of Institutional Repositories in China: Taking the Institutional Repository of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as an Example

Against the international backdrop of the continued development of institutional repositories around the world, China's institutional repositories have also undergone significant development and changes in the past 20 years. Taking the institutional repository of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as an example, with the support of Chinese policies, it adopts a pilot-first and phased promotion approach, and its scale has continued to expand, with rich resources and diverse functions. At the same time, there are also some problems in the construction of institutional repository, especially in the process of upgrading to institutional repository cloud (IR Cloud). For example, there is a certain degree of siloing in the construction of institutional repositories; some institutions have low user recognition, participation and attention, which leads to problems in sustainable development; the data security of institutional repository is also increasingly being paid attention to by scientific community. In view of the above problems, relevant thoughts on the future development of institutional repositories are proposed.
