• In a knowledge economy, innovation and the capacity of the system to create and disseminate the latest scientific and technical information are important determinants of prosperity (David and Foray 1995; OECD 1997). 

• One key question is whether there are new opportunities and new models for scholarly publishing that would better serve researchers and better communicate and disseminate research findings (OECD 2005, p14).

The publishing and research communities share the view that increased access to the results of EU-funded research is necessary to maximise their use and impact.

Investigate the effects of the large-scale, systematic deposit by publishers/authors in open access repositories.

Participating publishers will collectively contribute over 200 journals to the project.
