Open Access at Washington University

WashU's Danforth Campus institutional repository is called Open Scholarship.  Below, find links to repositories created elsewhere.

• Open DOAR Directory of Open Access Repositories 

   

  OpenDOAR is an authoritative directory of academic open access repositories.
• ROAR Registry of Open Access Repositories 

   

  The aim of ROAR is to promote the development of open access by providing timely information about the growth and status of repositories throughout the world. Open access to research maximises research access and thereby also research impact, making research more productive and effective.
• Disciplinary Repositories 

   

  This is a list of OA disciplinary respositories (also called central or subject repositories). Unless otherwise noted, they accept relevant deposits regardless of the author's institutional affiliation.
• Self-Archiving 

   

  An Eprint Archive is a collection of digital documents. OAI-compliant Eprint Archives share the same metadata, making their contents interoperable with one another. Their metadata can then be harvested into global "virtual" archives, such as OAIster, that are seamlessly navigable by any user (just as a commercial index or abstract database is navigable, but with full-text access).
