Learn About the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR), It Was Just Upgraded

Very impressive and useful!

From a Blog Post:

The ROAR Registry of Open Access Repositories has just been upgraded to the full power of the EPrints software's remarkable functionality.

Please come and explore the power of ROAR to display and track repository size, contents and growth across time, by country, repository type, and many performance parameters.

This will make it possible to monitor and analyze repository growth worldwide, and to encourage institutions to create their own repositories and adopt deposit mandates for filling them.

Access the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR)

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.
