Researchers are encouraged to publish research articles as always, with preferred publishers. In addition to publishing their research articles, they are encouraged to also upload a second copy of the published article into the institutions’ institutional repository. The purpose of an IR is to centrally archive all research output by an institution, at the same time increasing the visibility of the institution and the impact it has in addressing research challenges. The following directories provide info on known repositories from all over the world:
Unpaywall harvests Open Access content from over 50,000 publishers and repositories, and make it easy to find, track, and use.
This Chrome Extension enables researchers to access Open Access articles that are published in hybrid journals.
