[BOAI] Upcoming study of author experiences of self-archiving - qualitative perspective

[Peter Suber]

[Forwarding from Moa Hedbrant.  --Peter Suber.]


The effects of self-archiving:
Author experiences of the green road to open access

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 (urban.ericsson at abm.uu.se).

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:

Thank you for your contribution!
