The open access electronic document delivery system (EDDS)

The National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML) of India established its EPrints repository in September 2009, providing its researchers with an easy solution for Open Access. This has allowed their researchers to promote their research and to draw an attention among their counterparts over the globe. By the end of this first year of operation, interest in their work has increased phenomenally and their repository has achieved a ten-fold increase in traffic, with over 80,000 document downloads per month and a cumulative total of 5 million hits.
