Comparing Accesses to ETDs and Journals in Education and Languages Available from the Same Repository

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). / PUC-Rio – Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro has a repository
named the Maxwelll System (http://www.maxwell.lambda.ele.puc-rio.br/). ETDs and
journals are stored and made available from this repository, as well as senior projects,
learning objects, articles, etc.
ETDs became mandatory as of August 1, 2002 and the first journal was published in
June 2003. Two areas of the Center for Humanities and Theology – Education and
Languages – have traditional and well known graduate programs; they are also the
ones that publish the highest numbers of online journals (3 each). The Maxwell
System is an OAI-PMH data provider and PUC-Rio’s ETDs have their metadata
harvested by BDTD, the Brazilian National Consortium, NDLTD, Biblioteca
Universia, etc. All journals are indexed on DOAJ. Both their ETDs and journals have
significant numbers of accesses from Brazil and from abroad.
This work addresses a comparison between the patterns of accesses between ETDs
and journals in those areas. It focuses patterns for ETDs and journals in the same
area, ETDs in the two areas, and journals in the two areas. All analysis takes into
account accesses from: (1) Brazil; (2) Portuguese speaking countries; (3) Spanish
speaking countries; and (4) all other countries. The numbers to be compared are
either computed in percentages or are normalized since the sizes of the collections are
quite different.
Since the newest journal in the two areas began being published in March 2010, this
paper focuses accesses from this month/year on. This means that data are available
for over two years.
Accesses to ETDs have already been examined and presented and published at
previous ETD symposia.
