PEER - Final report on the provision of usage data and manuscript deposit
procedures for publishers and repository managers now available at
http://www.peerproject.eu/reports/


PEER is a pioneering collaboration between publishers, repositories and the
research community, which aims to investigate the effects of the large-scale,
systematic depositing of authors' final peer-reviewed manuscripts (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-2 (accepted) manuscripts from
over 240 journals will become available for archiving.

While the earlier Draft report on the provision of usage data and manuscript
deposit procedures for publishers and repository managers
(http://www.peerproject.eu/reports/) set out a preliminary deposit workflow,
this final report reflects a collaborative effort between publishers and the
library and repository stakeholder communities to achieve a feasible workflow
for depositing stage-2 outputs and for the provision of log files from
repositories to enable the research envisaged in the PEER project.

This report is the result of an ongoing cooperation between stakeholder
groups comprising publishers and the library/repository community to
establish best practice in deposit procedures that are least disruptive of
existing publication workflows, while minimizing additional effort in
repository ingest activities.

An innovative workflow has been devised to describe and standardise the
deposit from publishers to repositories that demonstrates, in a core group of
interoperable European repositories, the capability of accepting material
deposited from third party publishers and authors beyond the project
duration.
