No. 7 · March 2007 Organic EprintsUse of the open access archiveOrganic Eprints is a rapidly growing repository for research contributions in organic farming. Presently, the archive holds 6000 contributions that are freely searchable (figure 1). Every day, more than 5000 daily visitors consult the archive (figure 2). Thus, by depositing contributions in Organic Eprints visibility and accessibility of research results is highly improved.
