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.
