Dear Piotr,


a good topic that I have already dealt with. I used annotum in the past to run journals as a test, but it is outdated, http://blogs.plos.org/mfenner/2011/06/30/annotum-publishing-with-wordpress-soon-coming-to-a-journal-near-you/. As far as I se, there are unfortunately only several plugins that simulate some repository functions in parts, e.g. ScholarPress Coins, Enhanced Publication, OAI-ORE Resource Map. However, these have very few users, so it is difficult to say how reliable and sustainable they are. Perhaps a crowd funding campaign for a wordpress-repository theme/plugin might be an option ...


best

Ulrich

Hello,

 

I have just joined the list and have a question whether anyone has been using WordPress for maintaining digital repository of articles/books? I use this cms, along with other software like DSpace or for managing publishing workflow like Open Journal System. Now I am planning a new scientific repository, for which I am testing Omeka. However, keeping many platforms may be problematic for smaller publishers, and usually the software offers far too much than is actually needed and used. WordPress is simple and extendable, and offers multisite functionality, which may be used to structure various activities. Are there any decent extensions allowing to use it as a digital repository?

 

Best,

-----

Piotr
