An international survey analysis

.

Chapter 3 in The Economics of Open Access, 2018, pp 57-96 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In this chapter, we have discussed the results of an international survey of scholarly authors’ perception of and attitude towards gold and green OA. Most importantly, the likelihood of publishing articles in OA journals (the gold road) or uploading papers to OA repositories (the green road) largely depends on the discipline the scholar is affiliated with. This substantial impact of the discipline on the scholars’ publishing behaviour is driven by the discipline-specific reward systems and the varying availability of high-quality OA journals and repositories in the individual disciplines. By contrast, the scholars’ country of residence generally makes little difference. Scholarly communication is typically an international affair, and the leading OA journals and repositories attract academic authors from across the world.
