Institutional open access repositories are essential in today’s scholarly communication system. It´s observed significant growth of its use by public institutions of higher education in Brazil in the last fifteen years. The use of the web environment for production, storage, dissemination and access to scientific and technological information grows, impacting the entire structure of scientific communication. This new format needs new indicators for the metric studies of scientific and technological information, as webometric and altmetrics indicators. Through exploratory and descriptive research, it shows how these institutions are adapting their repositories to the new scenario. It was identified that 70% of the repositories provide statistical data on access and download of its items, 22% offer altmetric data, 83% use “identifiers resolution system” of digital objects. It shows that public higher education institutions are now adapting their repositories to the new scenario of metric information studies, and altmetrics presents incipient results.
