TL;DR: Findings confirm the universal popularity of Google/Google Scholar and suggest ECRs are conscious of the benefits of open access in delivering free access to papers.

TL;DR: It was found that a mandate from an institutional employer or a research funder to self-archive would meet with very little resentment and less resistance from the respondents, and it was also found that faculty who planned to contribute to the IR in the future agreed with of the concept of open access and had a greater altruism in making their work publicly accessible.
