Self Archiving / Repositories
Depositing your work in a repository makesit visible, searchable, and more accessible to other researchers: it
increases usage and impact, and evidence shows it boosts citations.
Although your work may be published in a high-profile journal, it is
not likely to be reaching all potential readers who want to make use of
your findings in their own research and publications. Sometimes this is
because the high cost of journals means that the institution or
researcher cannot afford a subscription. In other cases difficulties
arise in finding and accessing articles that are locked behind barriers.
Making material openly accessible through a repository allows it to be
searchable by engines such as Google; it increases readership, use, and
impact, and results in earlier and more frequent citations.
