Self-archiving is one of two general methods for providing open access. The other is Open Access Publishing in an Open Access Journal . The former is sometimes called the "green" and the latter the "golden" road to open access.

Self-archiving was first explicitly proposed as a universal practice by Stevan Harnad in his 1994 posting " Subversive Proposal ", although computer scientists had been doing it spontaneously in anonymous FTP archives since at least the 1980s (see CiteSeer ) and physicists since the early 1990s on the web (see ArXiv ).

About 91% of peer-reviewed journals surveyed by eprints already endorse authors self-archiving Preprint and/or Postprint versions of their papers Whereas the right to self-archive postprints is a copyright matter, the right to self-archive preprints is merely a [http://www.eprints.org/openaccess/self-faq/#publisher-forbids question of journal policy .
