It Takes More than a Mandate: Factors that Contribute to Increased Rates of Article Deposit to an Institutional Repository

Many institutions have open access (OA) policies that require faculty members to deposit
their articles in an institutional repository (IR). A clear motivation is that a policy will result in increased
self-archiving. The purpose of this longitudinal study is to compare the impact of a campus-wide OA policy
and mediated solicitation of author manuscripts, using quantitative analysis to determine the rate of article
deposits over time.
