[Eril-l] Primary Research Group has published the Survey of Research-Oriented Faculty, Experience of Open Access & Open Science, ISBN 979-8-88517-255-4

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

This study looks at how research faculty have been influenced by open
access requirements to post research findings in pre-print archives,
digital repositories, or otherwise make research findings available through
open access venues.  In addition, the report looks at spending on open
access publication fees, presenting detailed data on such spending, broken
down by various variables.  In addition, the report breaks down which
departments or entities pay article publication fees for authors,
determining precise shares for funding agencies, academic departments,
academic libraries, college or university administration as well as authors
themselves.


Just a few of the many findings of this 88-page report:


• Computer Science faculty reported the highest rate of not pursuing a
grant due to open access requirements

• Faculty in Visual Arts, Medicine, and Neuroscience/Psychiatry reported
the highest rates of declining partnerships due to open access or open
science  issues.

• Faculty with more than $5 million in lifetime grant receipts reported
that a mean of 51% of their newly submitted publications were required to
be made available through open access.

• Female respondents reported a higher mean sum of open access publication
fees paid over the two year period ($3,782.65) compared to male respondents
($2,574.21).

• Academic departments covered 8.73% of total open access publication fees
paid by the respondents over the past two years.


The data in the report is based on a survey of 378 higher education faculty
drawn from a stratified universe of faculty emphasizing STEM faculty. Data
is broken out by numerous institutional and personal variables including
college or university type, size, and public/private status, as well as by
personal respondent level of lifetime grant receipts, age, gender, work
title and academic field.   Data is broken out for 20 subject areas, and
separately for research universities, doctoral institutions, BA and
community colleges.
