Simultaneous registration of scholarly papers to a researcher database and a repository

This paper introduces a system that realizes a simultaneous registration of scholarly papers for both a researcher database and a repository. An institutional repository is a method to realize free access to research outputs. However, the number of scholarly papers archived in institutional repositories is extremely small compared to the papers practically produced by researchers. The authors considered that an obstacle to increase the number is the efforts of researchers to register their papers to institutional repositories, and they developed a system that realizes a simultaneous registration of papers to the researcher database and the institutional repository in their university. This paper introduces the main idea of the system.
