摘要

本文的目的是报告开放存取(OA)知识库的科学传播模式对电子论文的好处。具体来说，研究的重点是博士电子论文存储库的可访问性、传播性、可见性和影响的好处。设计/方法/方法该研究分析了存放在OA知识库中的125篇博士电子论文的随机样本，特别是在萨拉曼卡大学(Gredos)的机构知识库(IR)中。对样本进行跟踪分析，一方面分析电子论文的访问量和下载量，数据来源于数据库的统计模块，另一方面分析谷歌Scholar citation对这些电子论文提供的数据引用。为了分析不同知识领域的指标(访问量、下载和引用)之间的差异，我们使用了Kurskall-Wallis检验。研究结果表明，OA ir增加了论文和博士论文等灰色文献的知名度和使用率，并产生了显著的被引率，成为科学传播的有利渠道。原创性/价值本文使用IR中使用的指标来衡量一种灰色文献的可见性和影响，这种文献由于未发表而很难追踪。通过OA知识库传播灰色文献使其成为可能。本工作的价值在于从分析的格列多斯库博士论文中获得的经验证据。

Providing open access to PhD theses: visibility and citation benefits

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report the benefits of scientific communication model of open access (OA) repositories to e-theses. Specifically, the study focusses on the benefits of accessibility, dissemination, visibility and impact of PhD e-theses deposited in repositories. Design/methodology/approach The study analysed a random sample of 125 PhD e-theses deposited in an OA repository, specifically in the institutional repository (IR) of the University of Salamanca (Gredos). It tracked the sample for analysing on one side the visits and downloads of the e-theses, whose data are obtained from the statistics module of the repository, and on the other side the data citation provided by Google Scholar Citation on these e-theses. To analyse the differences between the indicators (visits, downloads and citations) in different knowledge areas, the Kurskall-Wallis test has been used. Findings The results indicate that OA IRs become an advantageous channel of scientific communication to grey literature like dissertations and PhD theses, because it increases visibility and use and also produces a significant citation rate. Originality/value The paper uses metrics that are used in IR to measure the visibility and impact of a type of grey literature that is very difficult to track because it is unpublished. The dissemination of the grey literature through OA repositories makes it possible. The value of the work lies in the empirical evidence obtained from the analysed PhD e-theses of Gredos repository.
