Over 80% of Association of American Universities Members Now Have Institutional Repositories

The Association of American Universities is a highly selective nonprofit organization of "leading public and private research universities in the United States and Canada" whose US members "award more than one-half of all U.S. doctoral degrees and 55 percent of those in the sciences and engineering."

This post examines whether AAU institutions have operational institutional repositories. Over 80% of the 62 AAU members now have such a repository (see the below list).

Institutions that do not have an institutional repository typically have an extensive digital library of curated digital materials (including works digitized by the library), and they may also have specialized digital repositories, such as departmental digital repositories (e.g., eprints and other digital research materials) or an ETD repository. Such digital libraries and repositories are not included here.

Institutional repositories were identified by OpenDOAR, ROAR, and, in some cases, Google and institutional website searches.
