Abstract

Open Access (OA) will not come until universities, the universal research-providers, make it part of their mandate not only to publish their research findings, as now, but also to see to it that the few extra keystrokes it takes to make those published findings OA -- by self-archiving them in their institutional repositories, free for all online -- are done too. Students and junior faculty -– the next generation of researchers and users -- are in a position to help convince their universities to go ahead and mandate OA self-archiving, at long last.
