One answer that I have is that the benefits of doing
self archiving have to be demostrated to the invidual
level of each researcher. Making general arguments
about it is not enough.
One thing that we do in RePEc (sorry), is that we aggregate
all papers for a certain author, through a registration project
called HoPEc. We also aggregate access logs across most of our
user services in the LogEc project. Thus we can furnish researches
with precise data to see how much the papers that they have been
making available are accessed.
