OpenDOAR (The directory of open access repositories). "The OpenDOAR service is being developed to support the rapidly emerging movement towards Open Access to research information. This will categorise and list the wide variety of Open Access research archives that have grown up around the world. ... OpenDOAR is building a comprehensive and authoritative list of institutional and subject-based repositories, as well as archives set up by funding agencies - like the National Institutes for Health in the USA or the Wellcome Trust in the UK and Europe." Developed by the University in Lund and in Nottingham.
Dissertations, theses, reports and scientific articles
DiVA. “The Academic Archive Online is a collaborative effort of a number of universities in Scandinavia ... The DiVA system, developed and maintained at the Electronic Publishing Centre at Uppsala University, Sweden, supports workflows for both electronic publishing and printing. Through DiVA, fulltext documents from the participating universities are published and archived – hence the name Academic Archive On-line. Today the archive contains mainly doctoral and undergraduate theses and research reports, but DiVA also supports the deposit of preprints and postprints of scientific articles. Monographs and chapters can also be published.”
