ROAR was created by EPrints at University of Southampton in 2003.[1][2][3][4] To date, over 3,000 institutional and cross-institutional repositories have been registered in ROAR.[5]

ROAR's companion database, the Registry of Open Access Repositories Mandatory Archiving Policies (ROARMAP), is a searchable international registry charting the growth of open access mandates adopted by universities, research institutions and research funders that require their researchers to provide open access to their peer-reviewed research article output by depositing it in an open access repository.

Mandatory Archiving

The Registry of Open Access Repositories Mandatory Archiving Policies (ROARMAP) is a searchable international registry charting the growth of open-access mandates adopted by universities, research institutions and research funders that require their researchers to provide open access to their peer-reviewed research article output by depositing it in an open access repository. ROARMAP was created by EPrints at University of Southampton in 2003.[6][7][8][9][10] As of October 2015, open-access mandates have been adopted by more than 520 universities and more than 75 research funders worldwide.[11] ROARMAP mandates are classified in terms of strength and effectiveness[12] in MELIBEA[13]

ROARMAP's companion, the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR), is a searchable international database indexing the creation, location and growth of institutional repositories and their contents. To date, over 3000 institutional and cross-institutional repositories have been registered in ROAR.
