Repository for Open Access Repositories (ROAR)

The Repository for Open Access Repositories (ROAR) is an online directory that catalogs and tracks open access digital repositories worldwide, which host academic and research content freely available to the public. It provides information about these repositories’ locations, contents, and access policies, helping researchers, institutions, and the public find and evaluate open access resources efficiently. Essentially, ROAR acts as a global registry, promoting transparency and increasing the visibility of openly accessible scholarly material.
