google scholar.

There are other places to register the 20 Japanese IRs, but please
do register them at ROAR and DOAR!

    http://archives.eprints.org/index.php?action=add
    http://www.opendoar.org/doar?func=loadTempl&templ=suggest

Two other important ones are:

    http://www.openarchives.org/data/registerasprovider.html

And if your institution also has an OA self-archiving policy,
please register that at:
