The number of digital repositories has increased rapidly in recent years, and they are classified into three types:

• Institutional repositories
• Funder-specific repositories
• Discipline-specific repositories

Many traditional publications only allow the deposition of the Author's manuscript version of the article, not the final, 'official' version, which presents a challenge for all digital repositories. Before the research article is made public, an embargo period of 6 or 12 months may apply.

 BISMA (BISNIS dan MANAJEMEN) enables the immediate placement of the final version of all published research publications in any digital archive. Authors are free to archive their own papers, but in many situations, this is unnecessary because BISMA (BISNIS DAN MANAJEMEN) can automatically give an open-access article feed to any repository that requests it.
