Exploring the Motivations of Open Access Authors	2019	23	.pdf	application/pdf	8940	346	42	As this literature review will show, research tentatively suggests that finances, field of study, and personal benefits (including tenure incentives) may motivate OA authors. A third study also explored biomedical publishing and found that, instead of discipline, a major source of differences in OA uptake was the authors’ “past knowledge-disclosure practices,” such as in commercial patents versus open-source software.11 Our study hoped to clarify both the prevalence of the various motives for OA authors and the extent of disciplinary differences.	cache/crl-17396.pdf	txt/crl-17396.txt
