Trends in Large-Scale Subject Repositories: "Conclusion
This study illustrates that there are a number of trends among the ten largest subject repositories:
the most populated subject repositories were established before 2000, with the exception of PMC
most of the top ten repositories are inter- and multidisciplinary
the sciences and social sciences are predominant
the use of local software was more common for subject repositories until the launch of open source repository software in 1997
'articles,' or pre- or post-prints, is the only common content type
deposits are moderated
repositories discourage withdrawal of materials
submitters are responsible for copyright policies
most repositories are hosted by university libraries or departments"
