Abstrakt: During the past decade, the open access is gaining momentum in India. As a result, a number of Open Access (OA) repositories are coming up in different institutions. The present study is an attempt to ascertain the success of these repositories by way of community engagement. Greater the community engagement, greater the deposit activity of the repository will be. The deposit profiles are automatically generated from OAI (Open Archives Initiative) harvesting information. The results suggest that only a few repositories are active and the rest being mostly static including the largest repository of IISc (Indian Institute of Science). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
