<div dir="ltr">rchiveit was developed as a response to the rarely employed practice of self-archiving research articles [2]. Researchers are misinformed on their rights when they submit a research paper to a journal or a conference. While SHERPA/RoMEO does a great, extensive job in collecting and organizing the publishers' copyright and self-archiving policies, its interface is outdated and the provided information are too much for non-technical people. Most still don't know what Open Access is, especially in the field of Computer Science.<br>
<br>rchiveit provides a fresher (still improvable) user interface and only the strictly important information needed by the researcher. Just a symbol near the words preprint, postprint, and publisher PDF, followed by a single paragraph of explanations.<br>
<br>rchiveit is Open-Source software, available on GitHub and released under the BSD 3-Clause License.<br><a href="http://rchive.it/">http://rchive.it/</a></div>
