Open repositories provide value to authors, repository managers, and users. For authors, repositories allow for long-term preservation of works and provide metrics on usage and impact. Repository managers benefit from tools that assist with submissions, enhance metrics collection, and automate processes like version management. Users value features like social networking, personalized alerts and notifications, and visualizations of publication networks, ideas, and geography.
