EPrints was developed at the University of Southampton, within the School or Electronics and Computer Science. EPrints quickly became a popular choice for an institutional repository. While EPrints itself was and remains freely available, it was clear that in order to support both its development and the community of users, a commercial entity was needed to underpin its continued success.
EPrints Services was created to satisfy this need. Based within the University of Southampton, in the same department as its original development. EPrints Services offers a number of commercial services to the repository community, as well as remaining the principal contributors to the EPrints platform.
