For info... The ePrints UK project is now maintaining a snapshot of the state of the eprint archives and open access journals within UK academia (at least, all those that we know about and harvest from). http://eprints-uk.rdn.ac.uk/stats/ The intention is to provide ongoing monthly snapshots of the number of known archives and a count of the number of records harvested from each.
