要約（サマリー）

It has been said that open access will make research output more visible and accelerate research progress. In this regard, whether or not open access will increase the number of citations has been receiving broad attention, and many studies are under way on this subject. These studies focus on open-access papers irrespective of the publish method, the status of research paper submission to subject repositories such as the arXiv, or the employment of a comparative approach by making e-journals partially available to the public. Institutional repositories play an important role in open access, and are actually referred to as frequently as open access journals. However, clarification of their effect in terms of increasing the number of citations remains scarce. On the other hand, it is often pointed out that making journal articles public through institutional repositories may adversely affect the management of the commercial publishers. It cannot be said, however, that sufficient analysis has been conducted on whether the containment of peer reviewed articles in institutional repositories will reduce the number of readers for journals containing the publisher versions of such articles, or whether making them public through institutional repositories will have an impact on numbers of journal subscribers. This project aims to analyze the effects of containing peer reviewed articles in institutional repositories – rather than adopting open access as a whole – on the number of citations and the state of use in regard to journals issued by publishing companies. To this end, articles that appeared in Zoological Science (the peer-reviewed journal of the Zoological Society of Japan) were placed in the repositories of Hokkaido University, Kyoto University and the University of Tsukuba to enable studies on the state of their use from these institutional repositories, the number of resulting citations, and changes in the usage of e-journals running publisher versions of such articles. The results show that publishing journal articles via institutional repositories helps spread their circulation rather than replacing traditional printing publication. In terms of specific results: 1. There is no correlation between the publish of journal articles through institutional repositories and the state of use on publisher platforms, and it can be said that the increase in the number of reads for such articles matches the number of times they were read from institutional repositories; 2. Papers in institutional repositories that were read by many readers, those in e-journals read by many readers, and those cited many times had different tendencies; 3. As for user locations, countries with many accesses to institutional repositories, those with many accesses to e-journals and those with many citations have different tendencies. At the conference, we plan to present the analysis method used here and the results obtained in greater detail.
