Ms. Marjorie T. Ilaw
Ms. Katherine Claire R. Dangcal
Mr. Gilbert E. Fruel
Mr. Lance P. Balmores

Format: Journal Article

Journal: Cognizance Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies

Publication Date: July 2026

Publication Type: Peer-reviewed academic journal article

Scholarly Contribution and Thematic Focus:
This convergent parallel mixed-methods study examined institutional readiness, organizational support, and faculty utilization of Institutional Repositories (IRs) and Open Educational Resources (OERs) in a private higher education institution in Laguna, Philippines. Findings revealed very high institutional readiness and strong organizational support, while faculty utilization was comparatively lower, particularly in research dissemination and open-access publishing. The study identified leadership, clear policies, faculty development, library and technical support, collaboration, and incentives as key enablers, leading to the development of a Scholarly Communication and Open Knowledge Framework that positions institutional readiness as the foundation, organizational support as the enabling mechanism, and faculty engagement as the driver of sustainable open knowledge practices. 📚🌐
