Abstract
  • This study is centered on the current crisis of the scholarly publishing system and its possible solution -- Open Archive Initiative (OAI). Cost, access, peer review and archiving are four major issues facing the current scholarly publishing system. Rapid increase in the price of journals and publications, limited access by the researchers to those publications, an inefficient peer review system, and difficulties archiving print media all pose a threat a threat for the free flow of the scholarly information. The Open Archive Initiative is trying to address the above issues by exploring and setting up standards for digital archiving systems. In this study, we implemented EPrints system which is one of the most influential open source software applications that is capable of creating OAI-compliant archives. We extended EPrints system to support scholarly interaction including claim, concept and reviews.
