Many (most?) authors will have scholarly communication librarians
and I.R. managers at their institution. Have you considered providing
links in your e-mails to their institutional support for sharing their
articles? I know that adds an additional layer of processing, but it
does create a virtuous cycle.
Very good point. I have this line in my latest version of the invitation:
----
If you have already deposited your works elsewhere, please contact your
librarians or the administrators of your repository so that they can
investigate why BASE/oaDOI fail to direct users to your archived
version. They may also be able to help you archive your works if you are
not able to do it yourself.
----
In a previous version I also linked or mentioned OpenDOAR, but that was
too technical for most people. Do note that many researchers don't even
know that a librarian (or other roles) exists for such things in their
organisation, and it's sometimes hard even for me to find out who's the
best contact (particularly in certain government agencies).
