Southampton's Worldwide Registry of Institutional Open Access Archives: 06/05
Southampton's Worldwide Registry of Institutional Open Access Archives
The repository has recently been enhanced; it covers the 434 OAI-compliant OA Archives worldwide whose existence has thus far been made known.
As it is intended to cover OA content (i.e., full-texts of either (1) preprints or (2) postprints of peer-reviewed journal articles, or (3) dissertations), Archives that do not provide 'any' full-text content at all (only metadata), or that provide only content of other kinds (internal documents, courseware, library records, audio, video, software) are not covered - though archives of 'mixed' content (both OA and non-OA) are covered.
The Registry also covers only archives that are OAI compliant, hence interoperable, harvestable using the OAI harvesting protocol.
