- Abstract
- Self-archiving of peer-reviewed articles represents one path toward increasing the public's exposure to relevant social science research. This paper discusses self-archiving behavior of scholars who have published articles in high-impact journals in the fields of anthropology, sociology, economics and political science. A total of 1,686 articles published during 2007 and 2008 were searched to determine which of the articles had been self-archived. The resulting data illuminates the self-archiving practices of 3,440 individual authors within the four social science fields. The results indicate that self-archiving behavior varies depending on the author's discipline, region, and author order. Self-archiving policies of journal publishers are also examined to compare restrictions on self-archiving with authors' self-archiving practices.
