English abstract

ETD repositories of India are based on institutional level and national level. Shodhganga a national level open access ETD repository set-up using open source software (OSS) called DSpace holds the largest number of full text theses. ETD repositories of some institutions are based either on open source software’s or commercial software or in-house developed software. Some institutional efforts includes initiatives by Indian Institutes of Technology’s (IITs), National Institute of Technology’s (NIT’s), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) labs, and by some universities and institutions. The Directory of Open Access Repository (OpenDOAR) displays 39 results upon search execution by content type - Theses, whereas Registry of Open Access Repository (ROAR) displays 11 results upon search execution by e-Theses repository type as on 29th March 2018. However the results displayed are not exhaustive as the registration is voluntary and not mandatory in OpenDOAR and ROAR. The current study undertaken reports the status of open access full text Open Source Solution based ETD repositories exclusive of Institutional Repository in which Theses are part of the collections. The methodology used for this study includes visiting of websites of ETD repositories listed on OpenDOAR and ROAR to ascertain the working status of such repositories and the results are reported. The finding shows that at National level only Shodhganga is in active state and at Institutional level only 3 exclusive open access ETD repositories are active.
