Organic Eprint

Open archive for research papers in organic food and farming

Organic Eprint is the international open access archive for papers related to research in organic agriculture. The archive contains full-text papers in electronic form together with bibliographic information, abstracts and other metadata.

The main objective of Organic Eprints is to facilitate the communication of research papers and proposals, to improve the dissemination and impact of research findings, and to document the research effort. In accordance with these objectives the archive is designed to facilitate international use and cooperation.

The archive was established in 2002 as an online community service by the Danish Research Centre for Organic Food and Farming (DARCOF). Since 2003 the archive has been run in cooperation between DARCOF, Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) and the German Programme for Organic Farming (BÖL).

At present, FiBL acts as editor for database entries from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, while DARCOF acts as editor for entries from all other countries.

Under the auspices of CORE Organic the archive will be extended to function as the organic research archive for all partner countries

All publications deriving from the CORE Organic project will be uploaded to the international open access archive for papers related to research in organic agriculture Organic Eprint.
