Access to the work of others is something that is too often taken forgranted, yet problematic and difficult to be obtained unless someone pays forit. Green and gold open access are claimed to be a solution to this problem.While open access is gaining momentum in some fields, there is a limited andseasoned knowledge about self-archiving in computer science. In particular,there is an inadequate understanding of author-based self-archiving awareness,practice, and inhibitors. This article reports an exploratory study of theawareness of self-archiving, the practice of self-archiving, and the inhibitorsof self-archiving among authors in an Italian computer science faculty.Forty-nine individuals among interns, PhD students, researchers, and professorswere recruited in a questionnaire (response rate of 72.8%). The quantitativeand qualitative responses suggested that there is still work needed in terms ofadvocating green open access to computer science authors who seldomself-archive and when they do, they often infringe the copyright transferagreements (CTAs) of the publishers. In addition, tools from the open-sourcecommunity are needed to facilitate author-based self-archiving, which shouldcomprise of an automatic check of the CTAs. The study identified nine factorsinhibiting the act of self-archiving among computer scientists. As a firststep, this study proposes several propositions regarding author-basedself-archiving in computer science that can be further investigated.Recommendations to foster self-archiving in computer science, based on theresults, are provided.
