If your university or research institutions or research funding agency
has an Open Access Self-Archiving policy,
please register it in ROARMAP:
http://www.eprints.org/openaccess/policysignup/sign.php
and register your institutional repository (IR) in ROAR:
http://archives.eprints.org/?action=add
You can track the growth of the number and nature of OA policies in
ROARMAP and the growth in the number and size of IRs in ROAR.
