The PEER (Publishing and the Ecology of European Research) Project has released its latest tender, on the economics of green OA. The PEER project is a massive collaboration of publishers, repositories and researchers to study experimentally the effects of self-archiving on publishing. The behavioral and usage research strands of the project already have begun.
Under this tender, up to €50,000 is available for the researchers chosen. The deadline for proposals is October 29, 2009. Research is expected to be completed by October 2010.
P.S. As a reminder, this and other calls for proposals are listed on the Open Access Directory. OAD is a wiki, so you can edit it to add any other relevant CFPs now or in the future, along with the many other topics OAD covers.
The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
