This presentation describes the experience about Altmetrics indicators at the Academic Repository, Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas. Authors analyses the health scholarly publication.

In 2008 the Peruvian Network for Digital Theses (RPTD) started with 4 universities. According to the National Association of Rectors (ANR, in Spanish), there are 77 universities in Peru, both public and private; 12 of them have an electronic theses portal, and only 9 share their metadata through the OAI-PMH protocol. Relying on strategic alliances, RPTD has rendered more visible scientific information produced in Peru, and has promoted the creation of other portals hosting digital theses and other contents as in the case of AMAUTA, the First Peruvian Digital Repository. It is not a surprise that AMAUTA and RPTD have some common features in design and functioning. Contents collected in RPTD and AMAUTA pose challenges that must be addressed so we can secure a sustainable functioning in time. First, these repositories centralize information so they and make access faster; make possible the re-utilization of data and the generation of other online scientific projects (UNMSM Research Journals); help identify deficiencies in bibliographic description and identifiers, helping us in the elaboration of proposals for the standardization of the bibliographical description and the creation of a authorities data base. These are some of the activities proposed and designed in this article, including challenges faces and possible solutions.

In the last three years Peru has gone through changes in the process of strengthening and disseminating open access, especially regarding digital theses and research or governmental data. Enactment of Law 30035, which establishes and regulates the Open Access National Digital Repository of Science, Technology and Innovation; the Regulations of the National Registry of Research Papers Submitted for Academic Degrees and Professional Titles, RENATI; the National Strategy for Open Governmental Data, Peru 2017-2021; and the Peruvian Open Governmental Data Model constitute all a legal framework that fosters open access. Within this context, since 2013 the Peruvian University for Applied Science, UPC, has implemented policies aimed to foster open access to academic and scientific information, as well to support the use of interoperable technological platforms. As a result, in March of 2013, the UPC Academic Repository was published. And, recently, UPC adopted as mandatory the open access publication of bachelor’s and master’s theses. In the last three years, the UPC Academic Repository ranked among the top in the Webometrics Repositories (Peru), and showed a significant improvement at the Latin American and World level: At the national level, it went from being ranked 13th in January 2013 to 3rd in January 2017. Worldwide, it went from being ranked 1,516th in January 2013 to 849th in January 2017. In Latin America, in January 2017 it was ranked 62nd among 217 repositories. All actions implemented have been complemented with the following strategies: the open access publication of the theses-related data; the use of diverse metadata standards —Dublin Core Qualifiers, ETD-MS, DRIVER 2.0 and OpenAIRE—; the use of the OAI-PMH interoperable protocol; the implementation of identifiers of digital content —DOI and Handle— and identifiers for users —ORCID and Google Profile—; and curation of digital content. Future activities will be oriented to increase visibility of the UPC repository contents. To this end, we have proposed the following: to use DOI in bachelor’s and master’s theses; increase the number of bibliographical records for theses and their data; monitor and assess consultations to UPC theses as shown by national repositories ALICIA and RENATI; and, finally, implement an automated system for managing theses integrated into the UPC Academic Repository.

Conferencia que aborda las buenas prácticas en gestión de Repositorios Institucionales.

La Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) ha desarrollado, desde finales del año 2017, diversas iniciativas para generar una infraestructura de servicios geoespaciales para sus tesis y otros tipos de producción intelectual, con los siguientes fines: mejorar su accesibilidad; implementar mapas temáticos; identificar nuevas formas de difusión en el marco de los repositorios académicos; y promover el intercambio de los datos y servicios de información espacial a nivel local e internacional mediante estándares: Norma ISO 19115, Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) y el estándar Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). Esta iniciativa guarda relación con diversas acciones para el fortalecimiento de una infraestructura de datos espaciales desplegadas por el Estado Peruano. En este esfuerzo, se promulga la Resolución Ministerial N° 126-2003-PCM, que constituye el Comité Coordinador de la Infraestructura de Datos Espaciales del Perú (CC-IDEP) y el Decreto Supremo 133-2013-PCM, el cual establece como obligatorio el acceso e intercambio de información espacial entre entidades de la administración pública y promueve la creación de infraestructuras de datos espaciales institucionales. En este contexto, las iniciativas de la UPC se han enfocado en: 1. Generación de mapas temáticos en Psicología y Arquitectura a partir del Repositorio Académico UPC. 2. Modificación del Reglamento de las tesis para agregar la información geoespacial en los metadatos del Repositorio Académico UPC (ubicación geográfica y/o UTM). 3. Desarrollo de un análisis cualitativo de las tesis en Psicología mediante mapas temáticos de tres repositorios institucionales peruanos. 4. Utilización de softwares de sistemas de información geográfica (SIG) para generar reportes de mapas temáticos. 5. Desarrollar estrategias de Search Engine Optimization (SEO) para mejorar la visibilidad de la información geoespacial. Las siguientes acciones se orientan: 1. Generación de mapas temáticos de tesis en todos los programas académicos a partir del Repositorio Académico. 2. Evaluación de la visibilidad del Repositorio Académico UPC a partir de la generación de mapas temáticos. 3. Establecer recomendaciones para la generación de servicios geoespaciales en las Bibliotecas. 4. Establecer convenios con organismos especializados en información geoespacial a nivel local e internacional.

Conferencia que aborda la situación de los repositorios peruanos.

In June 2004, University of San Marcos (UNMSM, Lima, Peru) launched the first portal providing access to electronic theses and dissertations in Peru using the Cybertesis platform. This initiative marked the beginning of open access theses repositories in the country. It was followed by other higher education and research institutions, both public and private. Four years later, the Peruvian Network for Digital Theses was established. It was officially closed in December 2014. In June 2010, Red CLARA launched LA REFERENCIA, a project funded by Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID). Eight regional countries were part of this initiative: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. El Salvador joined it recently. The aim of the project was to design a strategy for and an agreed framework on interoperability and scientific production management for Latin America. As of today, country members have developed national networks, each with its respective national repository portal. Repositories contain three (3) basic types of collections: master’s theses and doctoral dissertations; journal articles; and research projects. Participant institutions in LA REFERFENCIA are SNRD (Argentina), IBICT (Brazil), RRAAE (Ecuador), COLCIENCIAS, MEN, RENATA (Colombia), CONICYT, (Chile), CBUES (El Salvador), CONACYT, CUDI (México), RENARE (Peru), and CENIT, REACCIUN (Venezuela). Two events furthering open access to scientific research have been of key importance in Peru in the last two years; the first being the enacting of statute 30035 and its Regulations, by which the National Repository for Open Access Science and Technology was created. According to this legislation, all projects funded with public money will be openly accessible. The second event was the implementation of ALICIA (http://alicia.concytec.gob.pe), the aforementioned National Repository for Open Access Science and Technology. ALICIA is made up of 33 repositories – 13 of them are theses and dissertation repositories; 20 are institutional ones. ALICIA contains 34,567 registration records: 9,297 of them correspond to master’s theses, and 1,906 to doctoral dissertations (ALICIA has an additional 25,270 professional theses submitted by students after completing their undergraduate studies in order to obtain a professional license granted by the Peruvian state). LA REFERENCIA offers access to 88,599 doctoral dissertations and 202,798 master’s theses. Peruvian repositories for electronic theses and dissertations use DSpace, and have adopted the DRIVE 2.0 norms. Some institutions, like Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) have implemented Altmetrics indicators, showing social network activities connected to contents in theses, dissertations and journal articles.
