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 [[Academic paper|research papers]].
Disciplinary repositories can acquire their content in many ways. Many reply on author or organization submissions, such as [[Social Science Research Network|SSRN]]. Others such as [[CiteSeerX]] crawl the web for scholar and researcher websites and download publicly available [[academic paper]]s from those sites.
