EPrints is a free and open-source software package for building open access repositories that are compliant with the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. It shares many of the features commonly seen in document management systems, but is primarily used for institutional repositories and scientific journals.〔()〕 EPrints has been developed at the University of Southampton School of Electronics and Computer Science and released under a GPL license.〔(Tansley, R. & Harnad, S. (2000) ) Eprints.org Software for Creating Institutional and Individual Open Archives ''D-Lib Magazine'' 6 (10) 〕 The EPrints software is not to be confused with "Eprints" (or "e-prints"), which are preprints (before peer review) and postprints (after peer review), of research journal articles (eprints = preprints + postprints). ==History== EPrints was (created in 2000 ) as a direct outcome of the (1999 Santa Fe meeting ) that launched what eventually became the OAI-PMH. The EPrints software was enthusiastically received〔(Sponsler, Ed and Van de Velde, Eric F. (2001) ) Eprints.org Software: a Review. ''SPARC E-News''. August-September 2001〕 and became the first and one of the most widely used〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 ROAR Software Version Listing ) 〕 free open access, institutional repository software, and it has since inspired the development of (other software that fulfil a similar purpose ). Version 3 of the software was officially released on 24 January 2007 at the (Open Repositories 2007 Conference ) and was described by its developers as "a major leap forward in functionality, giving even more control and flexibility to repository managers, depositors, researchers and technical administrators."
