An opportunity to share your experiences! A new study aims to analyze the implications of open access with a qualitative approach. Focus will be on what changes can be noticed by the single researcher with the shift from non-OA publishing of research articles to self-archiving. The study is a part of a research project on different aspects of open access at Uppsala University, in Uppsala, Sweden. The project is managed by Urban Ericsson, PhD, Lecturer at Institution of Library and Information Science ([email protected]).
I wish to reach researchers from all disciplines, with experience of publishing research articles in both traditional non-OA channels and of self-archiving in institutional and/or subject based open archives. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to answer. Please note that all answers will be handled with confidentiality. Single answers might be quoted anonymously. To the survey: https://survey.mamut.com/s?s=20424 To contribute, please send your answer before the 2nd of March 2011. The more contributors, the more valuable the study. Please feel free to promote and distribute the survey to your fellow colleagues. Take this opportunity to reflect over how the changing research community and publication processes have affected you and your research! If you have any questions or comments, contact me at: [email protected]. Thank you for your contribution! Moa Hedbrant Institution of Library and Information science Uppsala University, Sweden
