The Centre for Research Communications is delighted to welcome UNDIP
Institutional Repository
(<a href="http://eprints.undip.ac.id/" eudora="autourl">
http://eprints.undip.ac.id/</a>), as the 1500th repository listed in
OpenDOAR.<br><br>
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. <br><br>
About OpenDOAR<br><br>
OpenDOAR provides a quality-assured global directory of freely available
open access repositories that hold full-text research material.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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. <br><br>
