<br>
Reporting on the past 12 months of activity in this ground breaking
collaboration between publishers, repositories and the research
community investigating the effects of Green Open Access, the PEER
Annual Report highlights the complexity of the infrastructure
required for PEER and the substantial progress achieved towards the
project’s objectives.
<br>
<br>
To simulate the large-scale, systematic depositing of authors’ final
peer-reviewed manuscripts accepted for journal publication, 12
participating publishers are providing content and associated
metadata from 241 participating journals. Half of the manuscripts
are being submitted directly to PEER, while for the other half,
authors are invited by publishers to self-deposit into the project.
<br>
<br>
All submitted content is being received by the PEER Depot, a central
repository created specifically for the project by INRIA, which
undertakes filtering for EU research content, metadata matching and
transformations, and embargo management prior to distribution to
participating repositories.
<br>
<br>
By the end of year 2 (August 2010), almost 25,000 unique publisher
provided manuscripts had been processed by the PEER Depot, resulting
in 10,000 EU manuscripts after processing (some still under
embargo), with embargo expired manuscripts distributed to
participating repositories.
<br>
<br>
The three areas of usage, economic and behavioural research
commissioned by PEER are well underway, with the Baseline
Behavioural Report already publicly available from the PEER website.
<br>
<br>
With a robust infrastructure in place, the next phase of the project
will see increasing volumes of content becoming available in support
of the ongoing research.

About PEER:
<br>
<br>
PEER (Publishing and the Ecology of European Research), supported by
the EC eContent/plus/ programme <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/econtentplus/index_en.htm"><http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/econtentplus/index_en.htm></a>,
will 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. The project is a collaboration between
publishers, repositories and researchers and will last from
September 2008 to May 2012
