title: JISC/OSI JOURNAL AUTHORS SURVEY Report creator: Swan, Alma creator: Brown, Sheridan subject: Archives description: On behalf of the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) and the Open Society Institute (OSI) a survey of journal authors has been carried out by Key Perspectives Ltd. The terms of reference were to poll a cohort of authors who had published on an open access basis and another cohort of authors who had published their work in conventional journals without making the article available on open access. The survey’s aims were to investigate the authors’ awareness of new open access possibilities, the ease of identification of and submission to open access outlets, their experiences of publishing their work in this way, their concerns about any implications open access publishing may have upon their careers, and the reasons why (or not) they chose to publish through an open access outlet. date: 2004 type: Newspaper/Magazine Article type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/4125/1/JISCOAreport1.pdf identifier: Swan, Alma and Brown, Sheridan (2004) JISC/OSI JOURNAL AUTHORS SURVEY Report.
