Overview
A digital repository is an online archive for the storage of digital objects; these can range from digital archives, moving or still image galleries, manuscripts, anything that is in electronic format and needs a place to be stored either in the short or longer term.
An open access repository is a digital repository where the content is freely available to download and reuse (sometimes with restrictions), where no login or subscription is required.
An institutional research repository is a digital repository for the storage of outputs from research undertaken at an organisation; these can be wholly open access repositories, closed access, or a mixture. Content that you might expect to find in an institutional research repository are: research papers, working papers, reports, datasets, and other digital objects resulting from research.

Subject repositories
Subject (sometimes called disciplinary) repositories bring together digital content from similar research or areas of interest onto one platform; they are seen as a good way to present the results of research by collection/theme.
Some examples of subject repositories are:
arXiv - in the high energy physics, mathematics, computer science
bioRxiv – biological and biochemical sciences
Social Science Research Network (SSRN) – a range of subjects in the social sciences
Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) – economics and finance related
PubMed Central and Europe PMC – content in health and health-related sciences
