[Objective] This study aims to help an organization automatically download its empolyees’ open access papers from iSwitch, and then import these articles to the institutional repository. [Methods] We first synchronized data from iSwitch through timing task scheduling based on FTP protocol. Second, we parsed files and saved metadata to the database in advance. Some functions, such as import process and data management, as well as audit, were also provided. [Results] Papers could be automatically synchronized from iSwitch and then imported to the institutional repository by the system administrator. We have successfully analyzed and imported more than 60, 000 items from Web of Science. [Limitations] The accuracy and timeliness of the service by iSwitch need to be improved. The data import function of the institutional repository should also be optimized for better services. [Conclusions] The high quality institutional repositories built on iSwitch, which significantly relieve burden of researchers and system administors, should be promoted.
