About the London E-prints Access Project
SHERPA-LEAP (the London E-prints Access Project) was founded in 2004 to develop open access e-print repositories for seven University of London institutions. The LEAP Consortium is led by UCL (University College London), which also hosts the repositories in the SHERPA-LEAP partnership.
SHERPA-LEAP was awarded funding for a second phase, beginning in February 2006, to support the development of e-print repositories across the whole University of London. A third phase, in which a cross-searching service will be implemented for the SHERPA-LEAP repositories, has also been funded and will begin in January 2007.
