  1. Green Open Access as a global solution?Some reflections based on the PEER Project Chris Armbruster Research Associate, Max Planck Digital Library, Max Planck Society Executive Director, Research Network 1989 Author page: http://ssrn.com/author=434782

  2. Publishing and the Ecology of European Research (PEER) • Project partners agree to disagree but cooperate in large-scale Green OA experiment. • 60.000 articles become available for OA archiving as „Version 2“: more than 240 quality journals from STM publishers across the disciplines (incl. SSH), filtered for EU content, subject to varying embargoes. • Shared objectives centre on determining increases in access, effects on journal viability, readiness to deposit, costs to participants, wider effects on ecology of research, possible models of co-existence. • More information: http://www.peerproject.eu/

  3. Some highlights • The PEER Depot: a central node for deposit and distribution to repositories; • Direct publisher & author deposit to Depot of so-called Version 2; • A rich set of comparisons and contrasts for usage based on logfiles; • In-depth study and wide survey of behavioural consequences and attitudes; • Detailed examination of costs to repositories and publishers, as well as authors and users.

  4. Some challenges • The non-trivial consequences of large-scale deposit for repository and publisher management, funding & policy. • The struggle for relevance: delayed access (embargo); version control (authoritativeness); visibility and usage. • New readers? Public access as Public Understanding of Science? Or as Public Teaching & Learning?
