PEER (Publishing and the Ecology of European Research) Web Site Launch
The PEER (Publishing and the Ecology of European Research) project has launched its Web site.
Here's an excerpt from the press release:
PEER is a pioneering collaboration between publishers, repositories and the research community, which aims to investigate the effects of the large-scale deposit (so called Green Open Access) on user access, author visibility, journal viability and the broader European research environment.
The project will run until 2011, during which time over 50,000 European stage two (accepted) manuscripts from up to 300 journals will become available for archiving.
The PEER website will serve the three key stakeholder groups of publishers, repository/library community and researchers (both as authors and readers), and will also provide information accessible to the general public.
Content will include news updates, as well as reports on various aspects of the project as PEER progresses.
