A disciplinary repository shares the roles of collection, dissemination and archive of work with other repositories, but is focused on a particular area. These collections can include academic and [[researchAcademic paper|research papers]]s.

Others such as [[CiteSeerX]] crawl the web for scholar and researcher websites and download publicly available [[academic paper]]s from those sites.
