<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello,<br>
I have prepared a novice type survey out of 10 questions
(surveymonkey's free limit). Please find the questions below and
allow me to learn your opinions about them.<br>
<br>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">1] Have you heard
the concept, open access? How can one define the best meaning of
this concept?</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">2] Would you be
happy if everybody, including you, are able to retrieve a
publication without paying anything? You might have to pay a
small fee, sometimes called as “processing fee”, as designated
by the Author-pay model. Have you known this before?</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">3] Which of the
following factors play the greatest role for you? a) Having a
publication in a journal with high impact factor, b) having a
publication in a journal designated as “A” or “B” quality by
Turkish Research Council (TUBITAK), c) other. What is the
correct processing fee range for a publication?</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">4] In order to
reduce the publication costs, would you opt for an electronic
journal rather than a published one? Do you agree with the
conclusion, which states that electronic journals are harder to
read and process in front of the monitor?</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">5] Would it be
possible to publish an article in an open-access journal without
charges? What can be done about this?</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">6] Which record in
the list (accessed at <a
href="http://web.itu.edu.tr/%7Eakkurtb/open_access/open_access_journals.pdf">http://web.itu.edu.tr/~akkurtb/open_access/open_access_journals.pdf</a>)
seems familiar to you (The pdf file was generated from the
online data in DOAJ's website)?</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">7] One of the 12
academic journals of TUBITAK is Turkish Journal of Chemistry,
like the others, operating on the open-access philosophy. Would
you be willing to send your articles to this journal to be
published? </p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">8] Shall the Turkish
Chemical Society (founded in 1919), being the oldest scientific
and chemical society in Turkey,volunteer about launching a
series of publications, just like the very famous American
example, titled as “Journal of the American Chemical Society”?
The possible name, including the category, might be something
like “Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A:
Chemistry”? </p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">9] What would be the
decision of the jury member, assigned to examine your scientific
publications for promotion of your academic title, when he/she
finds an open-access article in your briefcase?</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">10] How would you
respond to a suggestion about recruiting everybody with a PhD
degree as potential reviewers to open-access Turkish and foreign
chemistry and chemical engineering publications?</p>
