The results give a clear idea of institutional policies and researcher behaviour regarding open access to research results: the  prevalence  of  incentive  policies  on  open  access;  the  creation  of  open  repositories,  at institutional level or shared among several institutions, which are not yet widely adopted; the need for awareness raising activities on the benefits of open access and on authors’ rights vis-à-vis publishers, particularly for researchers; and weak national regulations, especially when it comes to the length of embargo periods.
