The research found that disciplinary cultures, norms and traditions shape authors' self\u2010archiving behaviour and readers' use of those versions of journal articles held in repositories.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>One of the limitations of the research is that it was impossible for the research team to gauge the representativeness of the survey compared to the actual disciplinary distribution of the population of EU researchers, as such population information is not available in an aggregated and consistent format.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The PEER Observatory is an unprecedented large\u2010scale collaboration between publishers, researchers and repositories to investigate the effects of self\u2010archiving at European level.
