Is anyone aware of any good studies on peer-to-peer article sharing?
By this I do not mean inter-library loans, but rather
faculty/students/post-docs sharing articles with each other via email
(either emailing PDFs or emailing links to repositories or even OA
content on publishers' websites) or other informal means. I'm curious
about sharing habits and any estimates as to the magnitude of papers
being exchanged in this way.
