Advantages of Digital Commons
Digital Commons offers a variety of features and services that make it unique among its peers, including:
- Tools to help populate and grow your repository.
- Clean page designs that look good and are simple to navigate.
- Intuitive and easy to use submission and publishing workflows.
- A rich feature set that includes peer-review journal management tools.
- Low cost implementation making it less expensive than open source solutions.
Open Source IR software is free to acquire but expensive to implement. It requires dedicated personnel for maintenance and development. It requires hardware to serve and house data. Both the personnel and hardware entail overhead costs that only increase with time.
As a hosted service, Digital Commons provides all technical services and support necessary to maintain your repository. That way you can better focus your resources on the most important part of your repository: the content.
- Unmatched speed-to-build and access to exceptional technical support.
