ABSTRACT
This article explores the current Library and Information Science (LIS) literature on open access and self-archiving and related studies and introduces the key concepts, different ways to self-archive, and approaches and findings on these studies. It further investigates the open access and self-archiving practices in disciplinary studies and the disciplinary differences among these practices. Finally, it examines self-archiving in law and concludes that the research gap and lack of literature on self-archiving in the discipline of law makes this study worthwhile.
