Quick facts Type of site, Available in ...

The platform is specifically designed from the ground up for publishing Overlay journal—open-access electronic journals whose content is drawn from articles deposited in open repositories such as HAL (open archive), ArXiv, and zenodo. Since 2023, Episciences also support submissions from BioRxiv and MedRxiv preprint servers. It also provides interoperability with the Software Heritage archive[1] and with research data repositories managed through dataverse.

Editorial teams select manuscripts directly from these open repositories. Once an article is accepted for publication in a journal using the Episciences platform, the corresponding record in the source repository is updated with publication details[2].

In 2024, Episciences hosts more than 37 journals and has published over 6,800 articles.[3]
