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.
