institutional repository policies

Institutional repository policies are guidelines set by organizations or universities to manage the collection, preservation, and sharing of their scholarly work and research outputs. These policies determine what types of materials can be deposited, how they are stored, who can access them, and any rights or restrictions involved. The goal is to ensure valuable research is preserved for future use, accessible to the public or specific audiences, and properly managed to maintain quality and legal compliance. Essentially, these policies create a structured framework to responsibly handle institutional knowledge and make it available for broader benefit.
