CogPrints is an electronic archive where authors can self-archive papers in various fields related to cognitive science.
The archive also includes works in philosophy (e.g., philosophy of mind, language, knowledge, science, logic), biology (e.g., ethology, behavioral ecology, sociobiology, behavior genetics, evolutionary theory), medicine (e.g., psychiatry, neurology, human genetics, imaging), and anthropology (e.g., primatology, cognitive ethnology, archaeology, paleontology).
Additionally, CogPrints hosts research from other areas of the physical, social, and mathematical sciences that are relevant to the study of cognition.
CogPrints has been referenced alongside the physics archive arXiv as an example of the author self-archiving model within open access publishing.
Its software was later converted into EPrints at the University of Southampton by Rob Tansley, who later contributed to the development of DSpace.
