Authors not bothered about quality of Open Access Publications
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Nature has published the results of a survey on open access publishing. "A survey of 22,000 academic researchers by Nature Publishing Group (NPG) and Palgrave Macmillan has found that a decreasing number of authors are concerned about perceptions of the quality of open access publications. In 2014, 40% of scientists who had not published open access in the last three years said 'I am concerned about perceptions of the quality of OA publications .' But this year, only 27% said they were concerned. In the humanities, business and social sciences (HSS), the drop was more marked; from 54% in 2014 to 41% in 2015. Nonetheless, concerns about perceptions of the quality of OA publications is still the leading factor in authors choosing not to publish OA." http://www.nature.com/press_releases/perceptions-open-access.html -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
