Welcome to Open Repository
Open Repository is
a service from BioMed Central to build, launch, host and maintain institutional repositories for organisations. Built upon the latest DSpace repository software the service has been designed to be flexible and cost-effective. BioMed Central's economy of scale makes it possible for organisations that could not otherwise afford to, or lack the infrastructure or technical capacity in-house to run their own repositories.

Why Choose OR?
Flexible
pricing and service levels
Open Repository is highly flexible and offers a number of different
levels of service, to fit with a university or organisation’s
requirements.
Cost
effective and rapid deployment
Building and hosting an institutional repository can be a major
operational challenge for an institution. Open Repository allows
organisations to quickly set up and run an industry-standard DSpace
repository with minimal effort and investment in manpower and cost.
Ownership
and control retained by customer
At all times the customer retains ownership of the repository. Open
Repository is built using Open Source technology platform: DSpace
and allows institutions to migrate to their own in-house DSpace
repository to take over its operation and maintenance. Permanent
preservation
This unique service offers the perfect solution to
organize and preserve publications, allowing
institutions to prepare for the next generation of
digital scholars, showcase their intellectual output and
therefore raise the profile of the institution and
increase the impact of their research. Showcase
and exposure of organisation's intellectual output
Open
Repository is personalized with an organization’s logo
and colours making it possible to promote and showcase
the full intellectual output from the organization.
Theses, databases, subscription journal articles and
movies which otherwise would remain inaccessible or
costly to obtain can be uploaded and made fully
accessible. Content is fully openly accessible which
allows an organization to share their intellectual
output without restriction with a global audience. Both
authors and authors’ departments can enjoy increased
exposure and impact for their research, leading to a
rise in profile and greater recognition by peers and
funders. |
