Repositories
Repositories are platforms for collecting, storing, indexing and sharing electronic versions of research papers. They contain, among other things, articles, monographs, dissertations, preprints, postprints, conference presentations, research reports, and didactic works. Moreover, repositories can collect audio, photo and video materials, as well as raw research data.
Repositories are divided into:
- institutional repositories, which gather scientific achievements of a given institution,
- subject, or disciplinary, repositories, which collect research data from a particular subject area.
The development of repositories is related to the worldwide spread of the Open Access movement, whose supporters postulate open access to scientific and educational content.
According to ROAR (Registry of Open Access Repositories), there are 120 repositories in Poland, including digital libraries, the resources of which include most often (but not only) historical collections of libraries, works available in the public domain (not covered by copyright).
