The Digital Commons Network (DCN) was launched three years ago with
just over 500,000 works from 250 institutions. Today we at bepress are
excited to announce that the DCN recently surpassed two million open
access articles from over 450 institutions. This makes DCN the largest
subject repository of open access scholarship available, nearly twice
the size of arXiv and well over three times larger than SSRN. The two
million items in the DCN have been downloaded 345 million times.

All content in the Network is downloadable without a log-in, meets
open standards (OAI), and is available for bulk download via
participating institutions’ OAI feeds.

Institutions control what is in their Digital Commons and
SelectedWorks platforms and whether that content is included in the
network.

Built on a dynamic and intuitive graphical interface, the Digital
Commons Network makes it simple and fun for readers to discover
research related to their disciplines.  Researchers can take advantage
of the built-in networking tools to follow popular authors,
institutions, and publications in their field. The Digital Commons
Network is also a valuable research tool for non-academic researchers
including the media, government agencies, industry, and K-12 educators
and students. If you aren’t using the DCN as a resource yet, we invite
you to try us out.
