considered the Two leading open access directories worldwide. ROAR is the larger directory and allows
direct submissions to the directory. OpenDOAR controls submission of materials and is dependent on the
discretion of its staff. OpenDOAR requires open access of scholarly publications; whereas ROAR allows
other types of materials to be included. ROAR allows filtering by country, type of repository, and sorting
by repository name."[2]
