Open Repository, from BioMed Central, provides professional help to institutions in building, launching, maintaining and populating institutional repositories. 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.

The service has been designed to be flexible and cost-effective, making it possible for institutions that could not otherwise afford to, or lack the infrastructure or technical capacity in-house, to set up repositories.
