--- abstract: | Surveys were carried out to learn more about authors and open access publishing. Awareness of open access journals among those who had not published in them was quite high; awareness of "self-archiving" wasless. For open access journal authors the most important reason for publishing in that way was the principle of free access; their main concerns were grants and impact. Authors who had not published in an open access journal attributed that to unfamiliarity with such journals. Forty per cent of authors have self-archived their traditional journal articles and almost twice as many say they would do so if required to. altloc: - http://www.keyperspectives.co.uk/OpenAccessArchive/Authors_and_open_access_publishing.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Swan given: Alma honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Brown given: Sheridan honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2004 date_type: published datestamp: 2005-03-16 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/41/23 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 4123 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/4123/1/Authors_and_open_access_publishing.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'Author Survey, Open Access, Open Access Journals, Self-Archiving, Policy' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:52 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 3 pagerange: 219-224 pubdom: FALSE publication: Learned Publishing publisher: ~ refereed: FALSE referencetext: | Swan, A and Brown, S.
