It presents an altmetric analysis of the term “Institutional Repository” on Twitter in the period from 2009 to 2015. The study is qualitative and quantitative, descriptive in nature, and used altmetrics to show posts related to the term and the content analysis thereof in order to identify the relationships established between the term and associated issues. The results showed that the first publications about the Institutional Repository term in Portuguese on Twitter appeared in 2009, and the highest number of tweets on the subject took place in . It highlighted the prevalence of the category “social citations” and “Institutional Repository Disclosure”, which most often mentions the implementation of Repositories. In posts related to social citation there is mention of “Books” and “Journal article”, a reference to the repository of UFBA, which provided the largest number of books published by the Publishing House of the Institution. The most frequent hashtag was #opendoar, which is the official directory of academic open access repositories, developed by the University of Nottingham, in the UK. Finally, altmetric studies are considered a possibility of analysis of the relationship between social media and the scientific production and an alternative to disseminate and/or share such information among researchers and stakeholders.Downloads
