The international articulations in favor of open access (OA) emphasize the institutional repositories (IRs) as an efficient strategy for the institutional scholarly information management. However, despite the wide adhesion of the strategy, the development of IRs have followed divergent goals and practices. Bearing in mind the conceptual controversy, the study investigated the elements that are necessary to conceptualize and analyze the IRs. For this, we conducted a Systematic Literature Review on the most cited papers about the subject in the databases Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar. As a result of analysis, was proposed a definition for the concept of IRs in the context of OA and two analysis tools. The first is a set of essential features for the categorization of an information system as IRs. The second is the systematization of eight dimensions of analysis. The three contributions compose the model to evaluation of IRs.Downloads
