This paper analyzes open access (OA) self-archiving policies of open access repositories of different organizations registered in OpenDOAR, ROAR, and ROARMAP databases. The policies relating to content policies, collection organization policies, metadata policies, submission policies, and multilingual policies, are required to be correctly formulated for the smooth functioning of any repository system on a global scale. The objective is to recommend institute-specific model policy with global recommendations and best practices. The methodology is twofold – first, to get an overview of policy issues as reflected in existing literature, and second, to analyze policy issues recorded in global registries and individual repositories. It was found that most of the organizations do not have a stated policy. Even within a specific policy, several key issues were missing. The outcomes of this research paper may help future researchers by providing a roadmap towards the successful policy implementation of open access repositories (OARs) in higher academic institutions. The paper may be helpful to the library professionals in devising institute-specific policy and may be a guiding tool to the policymakers.

The specific details of the policy studies are as follows: ñ Content Polices Type of materials covered ñ Collection Organization Policies Organization and management; categories and sub-categories; community rights R Metadata Policies eligible depositors/creators; harvesting framework, authentication; schema used € Submission Policies moderation, workflows, waive deposit Access to metadata; re-use of metadata; Eligible contributors; deposition rules; R Multilingual Policies Incorporation of Indic-script based documents; Browsing & searching of multilingual resources; multilingual subject access support system Methodology This research aims to explore implementations of policies related to collection development and organization at a global scale.
The most important question in this area is 'availability of Unicode-compliant script-based interface' for IDRs. The broad groups of works associated with this study include a) investigation of experts' opinions as recorded in literature against the major issues/areas mentioned under each of the OA policies related to collection development and organization; the opinions of experts are then grouped and analyzed to crystallize a set of recommendations and/or best practices; b) identification of global repositories that adopted the policy issues/areas as identified as important considerations for the said OA policies.
