Sunny, I've had experience with bepress.com's Digital Commons/Edikit combo for journal publication at <http://repositories.cdlib.org/>, although for up-to-date information you should contact [log in to unmask] at the California Digital Library. The best thing about this is the integration of the institutional repository with journal production software. It is really quite seamless, since it's simply a matter of hiding or exposing the journal production piece -- everything else (most notably the upload process) remains the same. The benefit of this is that anyone using the IR already knows how to use large chunks of the journal production system. I can attest to the simplicity and power of the system, and about the only drawback I can think to note is the cost. It has been very successful at the University of California, with uploads to it pretty much every day (I know because I've kept my current awareness search going there), which is a usage record of which any institution would be proud. In sum, I highly recommend it if you can afford it, and in the end I think it is probably worth it.
