Open Access Repository Ranking

The Open Access Repository Ranking (OARR) is a ranking that lists all German open access repositories according to a metric that evaluates a certain set of criteria that are summarized in categories. The OARR metric is open, transparent and developed in accordance with the open access community. The data for the current ranking was collected in the course of the 2014 Census project seminar at the BLIS. The ranking is planned to be published annually at the Open-Access-Tage conference in September. The preceding January each open access repository that meets the OARR definition will be contacted to submit their data via an online form. The OARR team reviews all submissions assuring its quality and validity.
