HERMES-IR Institutional Repository Support
What is HERMES-IR?
HERMES-IR (Hitotsubashi University Institutional Repository) is available to the public since May 2007 in order to disseminate the results of Hitotsubashi University’s research and educational activities to the world via the Internet. An Institutional Repository is an archive for collecting and preserving digital copies of the research output of a research institution. The director of the library is responsible for the operation of the HERMES-IR, and Library Affairs Division supports the operation of the HERMES-IR.
Research & Education Resources
HERMES-IR collects and stores the results of Hitotsubashi University’s research and education activities in electronic media, and disseminates them on the Internet by publishing the full-text data. By harvesting metadata (e.g., author names, titles, journal names) from other databases (programmatic collection of metadata), the data registered in HERMES-IR can be searched on external sites. The institutional repository functions to promote the distribution of academic information in cooperation with the National Institute of Informatics, Japan Consortium for Open Access Repository (JPCOAR), Japan Alliance of University Library Consortia for E-Resources (JUSTICE), and other organizations.
