Institutional repositories will never do that: They are merely access-providers, to their own peer-reviewed institutional output. Institutions cannot and will not become their own local peer-reviewers! Independent journals' editorial boards and referees are the peer-reviewers, whether they are managed by learned-society publishers, university publishers or trade publishers. That's what a (post-Green OA) journal is: just an established, reliable, independent peer-review service-provider and certifier, answerable with its title and track-record for its quality standards.
