[BOAI] Unlocking attitudes to open access in the UK

The United Kingdom Council for Research Repositories and the Repositories
Support Project invite repository staff in the UK to participate in a
nationwide initiative to gauge researchers’ attitudes to open access
generally, funding for open access publishing and the institutional
repository specifically.



We are asking you to carry out a standardised survey between April and June
2011. This is based on a survey carried out at the University of
Huddersfield during Open Access week 2010 which revealed some interesting
results. There are benefits for participating institutions such as raising
the profile of the repository and also nationally in creating a body of
evidence about researchers’ attitudes.



All the information about participating in the survey is available in a
download from the RSP blog:
