Abstract
ABSTRACT Quality assessments of institutional repository (IR) metadata afford opportunities for improvements to resource description and standards. This article describes a systematic review and enhancement of existing metadata and description practices in the University of Alabama Institutional Repository. The assessment revealed inconsistencies and omissions that could impede access. OpenRefine, R, and Python were used to remediate, supplement, or replace description with metadata exported from Web of Science and Scopus. This project improved description standards and access to IR resources, and future assessments will be performed annually to ensure metadata conform to IR standards and seek ways to improve standards.
