This is covered in the eprints documentation chapter 8.6:

8.6 HOW TO: Add a new document type
Add it to metadata-types.xml. This does not need any fields.
Add the name of the document type to the phrase file.
Add a citation for this document to the citations file.
If you want this to be one of the must-have-one-of document types then add
it's id to the list in ArchiveConfig.pm
If you want to do something "clever" on the abstract page then edit the
ArchiveRenderConfig.pm file. If you don't then it will use the citiation you
created to render it in the list, as with PDF, HTML etc.

This is also explained in my eprints blog which describes the configuration of eprints at Nottingham:
