About SSOAR

As an open-access full-text server, SSOAR's goal is to implement the "green road" to open access by providing users with free electronic access to journal article preprints and postprints  -- our main focus -- and also to other document types.

SSOAR is especially committed to the archiving and dissemination of quality-controlled texts. The repository has been certified by DINI, the German Initiative for Networked Information. The DINI certificate confirms our compliance with formal and technical standards and quality criteria for open-access repositories.

You, as an author, are warmly invited to deposit your texts. Furthermore, we would appreciate it if you would spread the word about SSOAR to your friends and colleagues.
