Summary:
"ECS has played a leading role in the worldwide drive towards Open Access to academic research. This movement was instigated in the early 1990s by ECS Professor Stevan Harnad. ECS was the first academic institution in the world to adopt a self-archiving mandate (2001) and since then all its published research has been freely available on the Web. It created the first and most widely used archiving software (EPrints) which is used worldwide by leading archives and continues to be evolved and supported from ECS."
