Primary Research Group has published the Survey of Higher Education Faculty
2023, Payment of Open Access Publication Fees, ISBN 979-8-88517-124-3

The report gives highly detailed information on which faculty are receiving
support from academic libraries, academic departments, foundations, and
college or university administrative departments for the payment of open
access publication fees. Separate data sets track payments by each source,
enabling the report’s end users to compare support given by academic
libraries to that given by academic or administrative departments. The
study also helps define who is making personal payments for publication in
open access journals.

This 114-page study is based on data from a survey of 725 higher education
faculty randomly chosen from nearly 500 colleges and universities in the
USA. Data is broken out by personal variables such as work title, gender,
personal income level, academic discipline, age and other variables, as
well as institutional indicators such as college or university type or
Carnegie class, enrollment size, public or private status and others.
Readers can compare support received by faculty in medicine to that in the
social sciences, for example, or to business faculty. Also, support for
associate professors can be compared to support for full professors, or
support for men to that for women, etc. etc.

Just a few of this report’s many findings are that:

•             15.59% of faculty sampled have had their college library,
administration or academic department pay a publication fee for them to
enable open access publication of one of their works.

•             27.7% of faculty who consider themselves political
conservatives sympathize with the goals of the open access movement.

•             Broken out by work title, assistant professors were the most
likely to receive a subsidy from an academic library for the payment of an
open access publication fee.
