See two open-access journal adaptations of eprints:

Eprints-1: http://www.bbsonline.org/
Eprints-2: http://psycprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/

Mike Jewell is working on journal features for Eprints; he redesigned it
for PsycPrints above, and it does have parent/child and title/number/item
parameters.

I believe Chris & Mike are working to make Eprints readily configurable
and adaptable for journal use without the need for added hacking.
