journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-26, 15:37 authored by Harnad, S, Carr, L, Swan, A, Sale, AHJ, Bosc, HNo research institution can afford all the journals its researchers may need, so all articles are losing research impact (usage and citations) from would-be users whose institutions cannot afford paid access. Articles that are made Open Access,‚ÄövÑvp by self-archiving them on the web are cited twice as much, but only about 15 percent of articles are being spontaneously self-archived. The only institutions approaching 100 percent self-archiving are those that mandate it. Surveys show that majority of authors (95%) will comply with a self-archiving mandate.
