Conferencia realizado del 12 al 14 de setiembre en Lima, Peru del 2012 en el marco del 15º Simposio Internacional de Tesis y Disertaciones Electrónicas (ETD 2012). Evento aupiciado por la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) y la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC). / A mandate for ETD deposit at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) was first made
in 2001. Retrospective conversion projects with author consent, and assumed
consent, finished in 2011, producing an ETD collection, 20,000 strong, online in open
access, making HKU first in Asia with all of its thesis collection online, and perhaps
the single institution in the world with the largest such collection. In 2011 these
ETDs were merged into the HKU IR, The HKU Scholars Hub. Usage statistics of the
Hub increased dramatically. The January 2012 Webometric rankings of world
repositories showed the Hub climbing 114 places to number 50. In the race to grab
stakeholder attention, the addition of ETDs to the Hub is a win / win situation. The
Hub shows records for publications, grant projects, author profiles, organizations, all
interlinked to each other, showing all aspects of research at HKU [use idea of
CRIS?]. Professoriate profiles in the Hub show a list of their supervised research
students, and links to their finished fulltext theses, also in the Hub. These links are
likewise reciprocated for thesis supervisors in the thesis records. All HKU theses
now carry a DOI which increases discovery, and allows import of CrossRef citation
data. Rates of download of HKU ETDs have doubled almost every year since 2001.
All indications lead to the conclusion that having all facets of research in one
repository, add value to each other, and increase rates of discovery and re-use. This
then further brings increases in invitations for collaborative research, employment,
speaking engagements.., with a concomitant increase of the hosting institution.
