OpenDOAR: Directory of Open Access Repositories is a UK-based website that listsopen access repositories (including academic ones). It is searchable by locale, content, and other measures. The service does not require complete repository details and does not search repositories' metadata.[1]
OpenDOAR is maintained by theUniversity of Nottingham under theSHERPA umbrella of services and was developed in collaboration withLund University. The project is funded by the Open Science Institute,Jisc, theConsortium of Research Libraries (CURL) andSPARC Europe.
As of 2015, OpenDOAR and the UK-basedRegistry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR) "are considered the Two leading open accessdirectories worldwide. ROAR is the larger directory and allows direct submissions to the directory. OpenDOAR controls submission of materials and is dependent on the discretion of its staff. OpenDOAR requires open access of scholarly publications; whereas ROAR allows other types of materials to be included. ROAR allows filtering by country, type of repository, and sorting by repository name."[2]
