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. AgEcon, established in 1995,<ref>{{cite web| url=http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/28460 | title=AgEcon Search: An International Disciplinary Repository| year=2009 | accessdate=2010-12-01}}</ref> grew as a result of active involvement of academia and societies.
A disciplinary repository generally covers one broad based discipline, with contributors from many different institutions supported by a variety of funders; the repositories themselves are likely to be funded from one or more sources within the subject community.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://ir.inflibnet.ac.in/dxml/handle/1944/987 | title=Development of Disciplinary Repositories: A Case Study of Open DOAR| year=2010 | accessdate=2010-11-20}}</ref> Deposit of material in a disciplinary repository is sometimes mandated by research funders.
Disciplinary repositories can also act as stores of data related to a particular subject, allowing documents along with data associated with that work to be stored in the repository.
