Abstract

The study has been conducted with an objective to assess the impact of e-resources on seven aspects of research. Seven agricultural universities of North India were surveyed while using questionnaire as a data collection tool. The majority of respondents are of the opinion that due to advent of e-resources and in view of the ICT developments, they ‘feel much comfortable and competent to search information' and the changed scenario has enabled them to ‘generate new research ideas'. The quantity as well as quality of research has improved. A majority of the respondents are also of the opinion that their ‘research output finds more citations'. A majority of users are of the opinion that the problem of ‘duplication of research' has diminished while in contrast the menace of ‘plagiarism has increased'. A majority of the users agree that advent of e-resources has laid a positive impact except for the fact that ‘plagiarism' has enhanced.
