EXCERPT: "As for mandatory-deposit repositories, the limited available
data indicate authors represented in such repositories tend to
contribute more of their intellectual output. Sale (2006) predicted
institutions establishing deposit mandates were likely to see such
results within three years of implementing these policies... This
study's findings only reinforce such predictions and arguments favoring
institutional mandates. As the data in this article show, a mandate is
arguably the "tipping point" described by Gladwell (2000) that can make
depositing behavior among scholars not just widespread, but also more of
an ingrained and complete behavior."
