About PEER

 

The aim of PEER is to investigate the effects of large-scale, systematic depositing of authors’ final peer-reviewed manuscripts. This is done by developing an 'observatory' to monitor the effects of systematic archiving over time and by creating  a substantial body of evidence.  Participating publishers will collectively contribute approx. 240 journals to the project and supporting research studies will address issues such as: 

  • How large-scale archiving will affect journal viability

  • Whether it increases access

  • How it will affect the broader ecology of European research

  • Which factors influence the readiness to deposit in institutional and disciplinary repositories and what the associated costs might be

  • Models to illustrate how traditional publishing systems can coexist with self-archiving.
