Testimonials & Case Studies

The Open University, UK

"Support provided by the EPrints Services team was invaluable as they were able to understand our individual requirements as an institution... has helped us move the institutional repository project forward swiftly, efficiently and successfully." See Open University Online.

Bournemouth University, UK

"EPrints (Services) have been very helpful in setting up and configuring the repository and loading data for us; speed of response has been phenomenal; customisation of material types and metadata has been undertaken very swiftly. I wish that other software providers and hosts were as good to deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending EPrints as software or the hosting service." See Bournemouth University Research Online.

Novartis, Switzerland

Novartis is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. Their decision to adopt an open access policy with regard to their in-house research, and the rationale for choosing EPrints Services to develop their repository is given in the Open Repositories 2008 paper "Open Access to Knowledge@ Novartis".
