This report was already both inaccurate and out of date at the time it was
released, almost a year ago (later published in D-Lib Sept 2005).

    "Academic Institutional Repositories
     Deployment Status in 13 Nations as of Mid 2005"

Presumably those who wish to report current IR numbers will want
current figures. ROAR, DOAR and OAIster are just approximations, but
they are the best figures we have today.
