OPEN ACCESS: Open Access

Academic Institutions

Many academic institutions around the world adopted Open Access Self-Archiving Policies that require faculty and researchers to deposit their final, peer-reviewed drafts in an Open Access institutional or central repository. 

-  Registry of Open Access Repository Material Archiving Policies (ROARMAP) indexes OA mandates from around the world and generates lists of mandate holders by country or the type of mandate.

-  The Directory of Open Access Repositories - OpenDOAR - is an authoritative directory of academic open access repositories throughout the world.  More than 2000 institutions participate.

-  Open Access Policies for Universities and Research Institutions (EOS)  and Open Access Scholarly Information  Sourcebook (OASIS) are useful resources for institutions to understand and formulate OA policies.
