See: http://repositories.webometrics.info/en/Best_Practices
 
 
 
All the scientific production, formal and informal, draft or definitive, published or unpublished, should be available from a unique web site. The institutional repository is a very important asset of the institution as a whole, not only of the library. We recommend the following syntax for the institutional repository web address:
 
 
 
'''http://repository.university.country'''
 
 
 
*'''<font color="red">It is very important to avoid changing the institutional domain as it can generate confusion and it has a devastating effect on the visibility values.'''
