Editing Plan S (section)

=== Strongly recommended additional criteria for repositories ===

D1. Manuscript submission system that supports both individual author uploads and bulk uploads of manuscripts (AAM or VoR) by publishers.
* EPrints supports web-based user submission but also an API that allows mass upload by publishers and third parties (e.g. ORCID).

D2. Full text stored in a machine-readable community standard format such as JATS XML.
* Similar to B3, see above.

D3. Support for PIDs for authors (e.g., ORCID), funders, funding programmes and grants, institutions, and other relevant entities.
* Same as B1, see above.

D4. Openly accessible data on citations according to the standards by the Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC).
* Same as B7, see above.

D5. Open API to allow others (including machines) to access the content. A compliant API must be free to access without any barrier. A light authentication mechanism such as a token for ‘power users’ – e.g., high-traffic collaborators – is acceptable as long as there is a totally open/anonymous route too.
* EPrints has OAI-PMH enabled by default that allows comprehensive read-only access to content. EPrints has is own open API that allows third-party applications read/write access to submit and modify content through CRUD-based RESTful requests.

D6. OpenAIRE compliance of the metadata.
* Same as B5, see above.

D7. Quality assurance processes to link full-text deposits with authoritative bibliographic metadata from third party systems, e.g., PubMed, Crossref, or SCOPUS where feasible.
* EPrints can be configured to make the fields (e.g. ID number, official URL, etc.) compulsory to ensure these are set so the items are linked to authoritative bibliographic metadata from third party systems before that are put live.
* EPrints provides an issues audit tool that could be used to test full-text deposits for authoritative bibliographic metadata from third party systems.
