E-ms is an open access archive for scientific or technical documents, published or unpublished, on Social Medicine and related disciplines. The archive's goal is to promote the rapid dissemination of papers.

E-ms has been established in 2005 as a community service by IIMS (Istituto Italiano di Medicina Sociale), to promote open access to papers as augured with Berlin Declaration and Messina Declaration of CRUI.

E-ms is non-commercial. There is neither funding nor interest in profiting from the initiative. It is a free-access international archive.

Authors who wish to post papers to the Archive should first consult the Submission Policy.

In keeping with the objectives of the EPrints movement and the Free Online Scholarship (FOS) movement, we expect this service to facilitate self-archiving researchers and long-term preservation of their scholarly publications, provide world wide easy access to these publications and improve the impact of their research.
