[EP-underground] Citebase: measuring impact for EPrints archives

EPrints software builds institutional archives, but how can you persuade
authors at your institution to fill the archive? One incentive might be to
show them a service that will improve the visibility and impact of their
work.

Citebase is a citation-ranked search service. At the moment Citebase
harvests data and references from papers in the largest OAI archives, but
in future will harvest institutional repositories such as EPrints archives.

Before demonstrating this service to prospective authors, you might want to
help us improve Citebase. We have to assure that the service will be useful
and usable to all academic users, and can work with OAI archives, so we are
asking archive maintainers to try Citebase and comment on it. To guide you
a Web form takes you through a short exercise highlighting the principal
features. The form can be found (via redirect) at
http://citebase.eprints.org/survey/

Citebase, like EPrints. has been developed as part of the Open Citation
project, funded by the Joint NSF - JISC International Digital Libraries
Research Programme.
