PEER Usage Research Reports and Final Project report available at
http://www.peerproject.eu/reports/
Following the recent successful End of Project Results Conference, the
following final reports from PEER are now available for download from
the PEER website:
* D5.2 PEER Usage study - Descriptive statistics for the period
March to August 2011
* D5.3 PEER Usage study - Randomised controlled trial results
* D9.13 Final report
The usage research studies were undertaken by CIBER Research Ltd to
measure the effect of exposing accepted manuscripts (following peer
review) in repositories on downloads of the version of record at
publisher platforms. The study is the largest of its kind to date,
involving over 18,000 manuscripts.
The PEER project, supported by the EC eContentplus programme
(http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/econtentplus/index_en.htm),
aimed to investigate 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.
All reports from the project including 'End of Project Statements by
the PEER Executive Partners - Reflections on Open Access Scenarios'
are available to download from http://www.peerproject.eu/reports/.
Presentations made during the End of Project Conference are available at:
