PEER, supported by the EC eContentplus programme, has been investigating 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, with the aim of informing the
evolution of policies in this area.

The project is a collaboration between publishers, repositories, and the
research community including funding bodies, which has run since September
2008 and will conclude with this conference.

Speakers will include representatives from PEER, as well as internationally
recognised research experts. Representatives from the publishing,
library/repository, funding and research stakeholder communities will
participate in a round-table discussion, addressing the evidence gathered by
PEER of what the effect of broad and systematic archiving of research outputs
in open access repositories might be.
 
The conference will present the final results of the PEER project (Publishing
and the Ecology of European Research)
