“…This presentation will briefly introduce a recent study about researchers' motivations for self‐archiving their information on ResearchGate. Self‐archiving is defined as “the action of uploading any kind of academic work, material, or research data to personal websites or institutional or subject repositories to make them freely available to and accessible by the public online” (Lee et al, ). We proposed a motivational framework including 18 factors, including enjoyment, personal and professional gain, reputation, learning, self‐efficacy, altruism, reciprocity, trust, community interest, social engagement, publicity, accessibility, self‐archiving culture, influence of external actors, credibility, system stability, copyright concerns, and additional time and effort.…”
