A '''disciplinary repository''' (or '''subject repository''') is an online archive containing works or data associated with these works of [[scholar]]s in a particular [[Discipline (academia)|subject area]].<ref>{{cite web| url=https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/bitstream/handle/2022/166/WP03-01B.html?sequence=1 | title=The Internet and Unrefereed Scholarly Publishing | year=2003 | accessdate=2010-12-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.arl.org/resources/pubs/br/br226/br226ir.shtml | title=Institutional Repositories: Essential Infrastructure for Scholarship in the Digital Age| year=2003 | accessdate=2010-12-14}}</ref> In contrast to [[Institutional repository|institutional repositories]], disciplinary repositories can accept work from scholars from any institution. 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. 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.
