Key Features
Less typing, more quality Inaccurate or mis-spelled data and missing details is a major challenge for repositories. EPrints 3 helps users enter quality metadata with fewer keystrokes by using a name authority. For starters, the repository itself can be used as an authority; metadata already entered in other records - author names, journals, conferences, funding bodies, institutions - is used to create a shortlist. Alternatively, a repository administrator can create a name authority file, or connect EPrints 3 directly to an external authority service.

Data in and out EPrints 3 makes it a snap to import records from XML or a reference management utility (BibTeX, EndNote) or even from an external service (PubMed, CrossRef). With support for exports to RSS, XML, reference management utilities (BibTeX, EndNote, Reference Manager), metadata interchange formats (Dublin Core, METS, MODS) and even external services (Google Maps, Similie Timeline), EPrints 3 export plugins help users get the most value out of your repository.
Behind-the-scenes, EPrints 3 introduces a flexible plugin architecture which makes it easy to create new import and export plugins, opening up EPrints 3 to be used with an enormous range of software and services, and making EPrints 3 the most interoperable platform available for building repositories.
