NML Institutional Repository and Eprints

[Anjani Kumar Sahu]

NML Eprints repository was established in September 2009 with the objective of providing Open Access dissemination of scientific knowledge generated at CSIR-NML Jamshedpur, India. NML’s Eprints gateway has considerably enhanced its global visibility and its popularity has increased exponentially. Eprints@NML is registered with OAIister, Open DOAR, ROAR and indexed by search engines like - Google, Google Scholar, Base, Scirus etc. NML repository has achieved more than 30% annual increase in traffic, with over 1,75,000 hits per month and a cumulative total of over 10 million hits since inception. The number of hits has reached 2.24 lakhs from 130 countries in July 2011.


OA is really an excellent information services forum through which we can help all the community of people whether he/she is millionaire or student. Today many academic, research and industrial sector focusing on OA site like DSpace and Eprints etc. Presently, I am working on Eprints@NML as a Repository Administrator at our organisation and putting all the archival documents for the global visibility of the NML Research output and provide the benefits of it to all the information seekers in India and abroad with the prior permission of the authors/publishers.
