PEER

Publishing and the Ecology of European Research (PEER) is an EU-funded scoping project investigating the effects of large-scale, systematic depositing of authors' final peer-reviewed manuscripts. PEER monitored the effects of systematic archiving over time, with participating publishers collectively contributing approximately 240 journals to assess factors such as: how large-scale archiving affects journal viability; whether it increases access; models to illustrate how traditional publishing systems can coexist with self-archiving.
