They give us the necessary background to understand developments, such as the
growth of repositories, and present studies showing researcher attitudes
towards open access. The authors conclude that more advocacy and information is
needed as there is a lack of knowledge about OA among researchers and other
important stakeholders: <i><span style='font-style:italic'><a
