By the end of May 2008 (month 9 of the project), 12 of the 16 NEEO partners had aggregated 6,516 full text publications into their repositories. This is 89% of the target for year one. 6 partners are ahead of schedule and are already filling IRs with content. Almost 2,000 journal articles, 3,500 working and discussion papers, and 153 chapters related to economics are open access via partner repositories to date.
