The International Journal of Engineering Education was used as the database for the study. The result shows that collaboration activities dominated the literature (73%). The highest collaboration coefficient was found to be (0.81). The aspect of International collaboration was emphasized, and 64 countries were found to have participated. The proportion of male (81.1%) and female authors (18.1%) was determined, and the gender composition of research groups was also outlined. Looking at the number of international collaboration participants, one could argue that research activityconnects scientists across nations and continents. Read More Read Less

Abstract Background: To reduce costs, provide more information for a lower price, and preserve the documents for a more extended period for future generations, it is best to implement sustainable repositories in libraries. Libraries are always given a limited budget, but study materials are unlimited, and there are also many users. Since literature has always been crucial to everyone, including nations,... Background: To reduce costs, provide more information for a lower price, and preserve the documents for a more extended period for future generations, it is best to implement sustainable repositories in libraries. Libraries are always given a limited budget, but study materials are unlimited, and there are also many users. Since literature has always been crucial to everyone, including nations, individuals, and organizations, it must be protected.Gathering, preserving, and sharing an institution’s intellectual output is the core goal of an institutional repository (IR). This data makes it easier to understand and discuss a particular institution. In Bharat, the open access movement has already started to take hold. Scope: The current study focuses on how autonomous institutions in some regions, which consist of three diverse states and one Union territory in India, can maintain their repositories and implementation methods over the long term. For this study, a total of six independent institutions were chosen. Method: Online questionnaires are currently the most used way of data collecting, and the study used them. Findings: The library website is the most popular repository promotion method. Suggestion: Institutions should enhance user satisfaction with repository features such as content accessibility, user interface, file formats, and submission processes. Keywords: Institutional Repositories, Self-Archiving, Content Quality, Open Access, Autonomous Institutions, Software for IRs Read More Read Less

Since the ChatGPT was announced in November 2022, there has been buzz that this technology will changethe informationretrieval behaviourof academicians worldwide. This paper has attempted to diagnose the implications of chat GPT on academic activities and libraries. Chat GPT is a revolutionary invention, and content generation is becoming accessible, unlikebefore. Earlier, there was a need to check hundreds of documents based on the query terms. Now, the chat GPT will provide only the most relevant documents with sum-up information, which looks like a subject expert or a colleague offers it. Read More Read Less
