    The institutional repositories represent the so-called Greenway of the Open Access movement, facilitating access to information and the management of the scientific memory of universities and research centers. In this sense, its operation should not only be optimized in terms of guaranteeing the organization and retrieval of documents, but also optimizing the processes of interoperability and digital preservation. It is here where the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) has taken place as the standard that guides and optimizes processes for digital preservation. Based on the above, this article reports the results of documentary research on the use of the OAIS model in institutional repositories, for this purpose the developed search methodology and the analysis of the factors to be considered in the management of the repositories are presented. The results compile experiences and implementation categories, basic principles, and operating schemes to meet conditions of comprehensiveness, interoperability, and ease in the recovery and preservation of the scientific and academic memory of the institutions. Mainly a trend towards distributed models and architectures, a greater number of experiences in Europe and the United States and the use of systems and software such as DSpace, Lockss, and Archivematica can be evidenced.Los repositorios institucionales representan la denominada Vía Verde del movimiento Acceso Abierto, facilitando el acceso a la información y la gestión de la memoria científica de las universidades y centros de investigación. En ese sentido, no solo debe optimizarse su funcionamiento en términos de garantizar la organización y recuperación de los documentos sino también, los procesos de interoperabilidad y preservación digital. Es aquí donde el Open Archival Information System (OAIS) ha tomado lugar como el estándar que orienta y optimiza los procesos de cara a la preservación digital. A partir de lo anterior, este artículo da cuenta de los resultados de una investigación documental sobre el uso del modelo OAIS en repositorios institucionales, para ello se presenta la metodología de búsqueda desarrollada y el análisis de los factores a considerar en la gestión de los repositorios. Los resultados recopilan experiencias y categorías de implementación, principios básicos y esquemas de funcionamiento para atender condiciones de integralidad, interoperabilidad y facilidad en la recuperación y preservación de la memoria científica y académica de las instituciones. Principalmente se puede evidenciar una tendencia a modelos y arquitecturas distribuidas, mayor cantidad de experiencias en Europa y Estados Unidos y el uso de sistemas y software como DSpace, Lockss y Archivematica
