*Apologies for cross-posting*
Earlier this year we asked over 2,500 researchers around the world for their views on a range of scholarly communication issues, including their publishing habits, opinions about different licenses, and the impact of scenarios for realizing an open access future. Released for Open Access Week, the survey results reveal that while researchers are clearly in favor of widening access to research, they remain largely unaware of the initiatives and services that have been established to encourage growth of OA. There is also little consensus when it comes to permitting reuse of published research and it is still a minority who are archiving manuscripts in repositories (green OA). The results demonstrate that there's much more publishers, librarians, funders, and all open access advocates need to do to raise researchers' awareness of the OA options available to them.
