NUS Publishing has been advocating that NUS support an institutional archive to allow and encourage scholars to self-archive their research work. The benefits of archiving pre-publication versions of papers is to 1) to make original research available easily and quickly, without overly-restrictive copyright barriers to use of material for education purposes, this as a supplement to the traditional journal publication system, and 2) to gather in a single searchable database the research work of the NUS community. A recent research project, published as Open access self-archiving: An author study, surveys authors to understand self-archiving from an author perspective. Clearly authors are ready for archiving, and they archive because they know it is the best way to get impact for their research.
