Abstract
The University of North Texas’ Scholarly Works Open Access institutional repository is home to materials from the UNT community’s research, creative, and scholarly activities. Currently, we are conducting an Open Access publication review for scholarly works generated by UNT in order to learn more about the OA publication practices of the UNT community with the goal of better serving their needs. The workflows of this project consist of a system using Scopus and Zotero to harvest, review, and sort UNT OA publication data from 2019-2021. Through this process we are able to better understand who is publishing Open Access, where they are publishing, and identify challenges and best practices for harvesting this scholarly output for inclusion in the institutional repository. This is an ongoing project which we hope to continue gathering insights from and improving the workflows to maximize its’ usefulness.
