Overview
Overview
Since 2023, Episciences also supports submissions from the BioRxiv and MedRxiv preprint servers. It also provides interoperability with the Software Heritage archive and with research data repositories managed through dataverse. Since 2026, the system supports the Cryptology ePrint Archive. Authors submit articles for selection in journals directly from these open repositories. Once an article is accepted for publication in a journal using the Episciences platform, the corresponding record in the source repository is updated with publication details. Journals have both launched directly on the platform, while some existing ones moved to the platform. The platform supports journals from a range of disciplines, including biomechanics, earth sciences, environment, health sciences, informatics and applied mathematics, mathematics, mechanical engineering, physics, proceedings, and social sciences and humanities.
