The results show that academic librarians often consider open access journals as a means of sharing their research but hold the same reservations about them as many other disciplines, i.e. concerns about peer review and valuation by administration in terms of promotion and tenure.4 This line of thought is continued in Snyder, Imre and Carter's 2007 study, which focused more specifically on intellectual property concerns of academic librarian authors and allowable self-archiving practices. ./cache/work_2h7uabjzejhaniwfcslnfqs7c4.htm ./txt/work_2h7uabjzejhaniwfcslnfqs7c4.txt
