  • Abstract:
  • The present study goes on to explore various aspects of search functionalities and content handling associated with user experience while considering Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based integration within Open Access Educational Repositories (OAERs). The data were obtained through an extensive web-based literature review, to retrieve the OAERs which have implemented AI technologies and understand their respective use cases on AI tools. The results suggest an important improvement in search precision and finer management of the content, by employing sophisticated algorithms like those used in Dimensions AI or semantic searches applied on services like OpenAlex. Another example is the retrieval of metadata with automation and setting up content recommendations from repositories which underlines how AI would simplify repository features. Even with such advances, challenges including data quality and interfacing to existing systems as well as scalability have been among critical bottlenecks especially considering some of the transparency issues associated with algorithms. The results highlight a continued call for innovation and overcoming challenges to improve the contribution of AI in OAERs, by widening accessibility as well as improving efficiency regarding how academic work is disseminated.
