[Forwarding from SHERPA.  --Peter Suber.]


The Centre for Research Communications is delighted to welcome UNDIP 
Institutional Repository (http://eprints.undip.ac.id/), as the 1500th 
repository listed in OpenDOAR.

OpenDOAR was formed in 2006, and has steadily grown as a result of 
suggestions from the repository community and service users. OpenDOAR has 
increased between 200 and 300 new repositories every year since its creation.

About OpenDOAR

OpenDOAR provides a quality-assured global directory of freely available 
open access repositories that hold full-text research material.

In addition it proffers a range of tools that builds upon this underlying 
infrastructure including a custom search engine based on its directory 
holdings, a repository policy generation tool, and an email distribution 
service - allowing service providers and developers to reach hundreds of 
repository officers around the world.

A key feature of OpenDOAR is that all of the repositories we list have been 
visited by project staff, tested and assessed by hand. We currently decline 
about a quarter of candidate sites as being broken, empty, out of scope, 
etc. This gives a far higher quality assurance to the listings we hold than 
results gathered by automatic harvesting alone.
