Research Group has published the Survey of Higher Education Faculty 2023,
Payment of Open Access Publication Fees, ISBN 979-8-88517-124-3</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">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. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">Just a few of
this report’s many findings are that: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">• 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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">• 27.7% of faculty who consider
themselves political conservatives sympathize with the goals of the open access
movement.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">• 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.</p>
