The Social Science Open Access Repository SSOAR is a database specialising in scholarly articles from the social sciences which is freely accessible on the Internet. SSOAR is a full text server, and Internet users can access full text versions of documents free of charge and without prior registration. The Repository publishing repository follows the so called Green Road , a strategy for the implementation of Open access publishing Open Access whereby preprint preprints or postprint postprints of scholarly contributions are archived in an openly accessible repository in addition to being published in toll access journals etc. Because the project is coordinated by an editorial team and is supported by an advisory board made up of members of scholarly societies, the quality of the contributions is assured. Moreover, SSOAR offers authors the opportunity to self archive their texts, to make them freely accessible and, by so doing, to increase the visibility and reach of their work. The project is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft German Research Foundation DFG .
