The Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR) is a searchable international database indexing the creation, location and growth of open access institutional repositories and their contents. ROAR was created by EPrints at University of Southampton in 2003.[1][2][3][4] It began as the Institutional Archives Registry and was renamed Registry of Open Access Repositories in 2006.[5] To date, over 3,000 institutional and cross-institutional repositories have been registered.[6]

ROARMAP

ROAR's companion Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies (ROARMAP), is a searchable international database of policies. It charts the growth of open access mandates and policies 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. It was created by EPrints at University of Southampton in 2003.[7][8][9][10][11] As of October 2015, open-access mandates have been adopted by more than 520 universities and more than 75 research funders worldwide.[12] ROARMAP mandates are classified in terms of strength and effectiveness[13] in MELIBEA[14]
