Welcome to hprints.org

The free Nordic Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences e-print repository

hprints is an Open Access repository aiming at making scholarly documents from the Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences openly available to the widest possible academic audience. It is the first of its kind in the Nordic Countries for the Humanities and Social Sciences.

hprints is a tool by which researchers can share their scholarly documents. Scholars can upload full-text research material such as articles, papers, conference papers, book chapters etc. The content of the posted material should be comparable to that of a scientific paper that a scholar would submit for publication in for example a peer-reviewed academic journal.

For scholars hprints.org is an opportunity to gain longstanding visibility. Firstly, it is possible to search and find the paper by defined topics through the Internet, e.g. a Google or Worldcat.org search. Secondly, all submitted papers are reserved permanently; they receive a stable web address and a unique ID.

When uploading material it is mandatory to give proper acknowledgements to e.g. the original journals or publishers - if the material if the material is published elsewhere: It is the author's responsibility that publisher's policy and copyright laws are not violated when uploading documents. Take a look at SHERPA/RoMEO: A database for publisher policies regarding self-archiving of preprints and postprints.

hprints.org is a collaboration between Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and a consortium of Nordic university libraries. The repository has been funded twice by the funding programme Nordbib, under NordForsk, the Nordic Council of Ministers.
