Institutional repository
An Institutional Repository (IR) is a digital space where universities and organizations store and preserve their academic work, such as research papers, theses, and other scholarly outputs. It serves as a central hub for sharing knowledge, making it easily accessible to researchers, students, and the public. By organizing and archiving this content, IRs contribute to the visibility of an institution's research, promote open access to information, and ensure that valuable academic resources are preserved for future generations.
