Nowadays, institutional repositories are widespread. However, researchers do not invest time to archive their publications to repositories. This leads to the phenomenon of “empty archives” – institutional repositories containing only a modest fraction of the research output of the respective institution. One highly cited reason for this is the lack of concrete mandates - correctly. However, the lack of tools to make self-archiving easier and less costly in time for researchers is also a considerable prohibiting factor. This contribution refers to the development of a tool for proactive, personalized self-archiving, aiming to increase adoption of self-archiving practices among researchers.
