GNU EPrints: Open Archive Software

EPrints Logo
EPrints Logo

The GNU EPrints software (aka eprints.org software) is intended to allow people to set up all purposes archives on the web, which are OAI compliant. It is aimed at research papers but could be used for anything.

We are trying to use available technologies such as OAI, XML and Citation Linking to make the system as useful as possible.

The software is now in use on more than 100 sites!
