[Forwarding from the PEER Project.  --Peter Suber.]


News release

23 February 2009

PEER ­ website now live at http://www.peerproject.eu

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.

A presentation providing an introduction to PEER is available on the website:
