Looking for article management software
 

I am currently working on a project which intends to make several thousands of scientific articles freely available online (and, possibly, tens of thousands in the future). Now, what I need is software which allows me to manage these articles, lists them both by subject and author, and provides the possibility to create a separate page containing information on each author.

Does anyone know of such software? Since this is a strictly non-profit project, I'm looking for software that is either free or very affordable.

(I realize chances are slim, but it is worth trying.)

wouldnt word press work for this?

Joomla would be a good fit for that.

I am somewhat hesitant to use blogging software as the backend to a huge archive of scientific material. Aside from that, the interface and such aren't really suited for the purpose.

Thanks for the suggestion, checking it out now :thumbsup

There's a million and one different content management scripts out there, my advice would be to make a list of the features you need, how you want it to work and then get a custom script made.

Either that or spend a lot of time demoing the ones already out there and customise them yourself, which sucks.

Getting a custom script made for this project unfortunately isn't an option. Since it will already cost heaps of money with no chance whatsoever of even making a penny back, investing another few thousand dollars on a custom script is not a possibility.

I know this would sound a weird suggestion, but Gallery2. It can do any mime type, so it could make galleries of docs.
