ROAR Registry of Open Access Repositories
ROARMAP Registry of Open Access Repository Material Archiving Policies

The purpose of ROARMAP is to register and record the open-access policies of those institutions who are putting the principle of Open Access (as expressed by the Budapest Open Access Initiative and the Berlin Declaration) into practice as recommended by Berlin 3 (as well as the UK Government Science and Technology Committee).

Universities and research institutions who have adopted a mandate to provide open access to their own peer-reviewed research output are invited to register and describe their policy in ROARMAP.

Registering your OA mandate in ROARMAP will:
       (1) record your own institution's commitment to providing open access to its own research output,
       (2) help the research community measure its progress (see Figure on right) in providing open access worldwide, and
       (3) encourage further institutions to adopt open-access mandates (so that your own institution's users can have access to the research output of other institutions as well).

Sample Institutional Self-Archiving Mandate:
For institutional record-keeping, research asset management, and performance-evaluation purposes, and in order to maximize the visibility, accessibility, usage and impact of our institution's research output, our institution's researchers are mandated to deposit the final, peer-reviewed, accepted drafts of all their journal articles (and accepted theses) into our institution's institutional repository immediately upon acceptance for publication

This is to register our institution's mandate to provide open access (free online access) to the peer-reviewed research article (and/or thesis) output of our institution.
