| Abstract (english) | The study employs a quantitative research approach, divided into two parts, to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future development of repositories in Croatia. The first part analyses quantitative data and repository statistics. To investigate the reasons behind the high percentage of restricted or closed-access objects, a survey was conducted among institutions that primarily deposit such items. |
| Methods (english) | The research was conducted in the first half of 2024, with quantitative data collected until May 27, 2024, from official DABAR system analytics - https://dabar.srce.hr/reports/. An initial quantitative analysis was undertaken to identify repositories within DABAR system with a predominant share of objects under closed or restricted access. This analysis was based on publicly available data detailing the total number of objects in each repository, as well as their respective access conditions. Following the selection process, an online questionnaire was distributed to repository administrators or editors responsible for the management and policy implementation within these repositories. The survey was distributed using email addresses publicly available on the websites of the individual repositories. The questionnaire itself was created using the free online tool Microsoft Forms. The data collection period spanned from 23 May 2024 to 12 June 2024, during which a total of 50 completed responses were received, providing a substantial basis for subsequent qualitative and quantitative analysis. |
