It's pure arrogance to think that only authors at an institution
should be privileged to deposit OA papers. Freelance-scholars must
have a disciplinary repository. I have collected links to such
repositories and the editors of the OAD have accepted the list. Feel
free to add more repositories at:

http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Disciplinary_repositories

Some of these are not "Central Repositories" like Arxiv. Some are
restricted on specific languages or regional provenance.

These DR are without doubt important contributions to the OA
community. We should support them.
