Institutional digital repositories projects in Algerian Universities: digital repository project of the University of Constantine 02, Abdelhamid Mehri as a model

Abstract

   Nowadays, institutional digital repositories have become an imperative necessity for every university institution that seeks to ensure the management, organization, storage and long-term preservation of its digital assets, intellectual production and history, as well as open access to all users inside and outside the university. And also for those seeking to enter the various international academic rankings for universities and digital repositories, especially those based on the quantitative analysis of scientific activity on the Internet such as the Webometrics classification, the rank obtained by the university or digital repository within this global classification largely reflects the level of its scientific progress.
  Algeria is one of the Arab countries that has recently moved to support and set up digital repositories in its university institutions. This explains why it has nine institutional digital repositories, in addition to many repositories projects under construction, including the digital repository project of the University of Constantine 02- Abdelhamid Mehri, which will be studied in the coming lines.
