PEER, supported by the EC eContentplus programme
(http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/econtentplus/index_en.htm),
has been investigating the effects of the large-scale, systematic
depositing of authors' final peer-reviewed manuscripts (so called
Green Open Access or stage-two research output) on reader access,
author visibility, and journal viability, as well as on the broader
ecology of European research, with the aim of informing the evolution
of policies in this area.
The project is a collaboration between publishers, repositories, and
the research community including funding bodies, which has run since
September 2008 and will conclude with this conference.
Speakers will include representatives from PEER, as well as
internationally recognised research experts. Representatives from the
publishing, library/repository, funding and research stakeholder
communities will participate in a round-table discussion, addressing
the evidence gathered by PEER of what the effect of broad and
systematic archiving of research outputs in open access repositories
might be.
The conference will present the final results of the PEER project
(Publishing and the Ecology of European Research) -
