Overview
The deposit latency is the length of the time gap between the time of publication and that of deposit, the latter being recorded in the repository metadata. Open Access items tend to be deposited later than Restricted Access items (have longer latencies) and latency periods tend to be longer in mandated institutions than in non-mandated ones (but deposit rates themselves are four times higher when deposit is mandated). Restricted Access deposits also tend to be converted to Open Access deposits after a delay, most likely because such deposits are initially set as Restricted Access because of publisher embargoes.
Publication date was estimated based on the Altmetrics database and WoK publication date.
