Abstract
The extent to which scholarly literature can be openly accessed and freely downloaded on the Internet varies greatly depending on the discipline. This article assesses the current state of open access in the fields of business and management. Google was used to search for free versions of articles from a sample of articles published in early 2009 in a broad array of business and management journals. Free versions of 36% of the articles included in this study were identified, available from a wide variety of websites, including repositories, author profile pages, open access journals, and more.

Comparing the citation counts of individual OA and non-OA articles appearing in the same (non-OA) journals is revealing dramatic citation advantages for OA.

The most rigorous study to date showed that, after controlling for the early view postulate, the remaining difference in citation counts between OA and non-OA articles is explained by the selection bias postulate.

A robot is designed that trawls the Web for full-texts using reference metadata and citation data from the Institute for Scientific Information database and it is unlikely that the OA citation advantage is merely or mostly a self-selection bias (for making only one's better articles OA).

Investigating factors that motivate or impede faculty contribution found that faculty members who had planned to contribute to the IR in the future agreed more strongly with accessibility and publicity of open access materials and possess a greater altruistic intention to make their work publicly accessible.

It is found that authors in different disciplines exhibit very different behaviours on the so‐called ‘green’ road to open access, i.e. self‐archiving, as well as significant self-archiving of the publisher PDF version, in all the disciplines investigated.
