“…Evidence about the role of the library is contradictory. In Mammo & Ngulube's [13] and Sanchez-Tarrago & FernandezMolina's studies [12] library was the third most common source of awareness, while other authors [8,9,16] reported that a very small percentage of respondents found out about OA through their library.…”

“…[12, p. 70] In Gul, Shah & Baghwan's study [9] it was established that the majority of the respondents were aware of only two journals in their field, while in Coonin's study [8] the most popular answer to a question regarding how respondents became aware of OA was "first I've heard of it".…”

“…Hernadez-Borges et al [19] and Sanchez-Tarrago & FernandezMolina [12] attributed the relatively low levels of knowledge among Spanish-speaking scholars to the fact that OA initiatives appeared initially in English-speaking settings. Colleagues seem to play an essential role in raising OA awareness [8,9,12,13,16,18]. Self-knowledge is another common source of awareness.…”

“…Self-knowledge is another common source of awareness. Scholars learn about OA journals and initiatives by searching the Internet [8,13], using the literature [12,16,18], reading articles in newspapers or magazines [8] or even accidentally when searching for other information [13]. Other sources of awareness are funding agencies [8,9] and professional societies [8].…”

Attitudes towards open access: A meta-synthesis of the empirical literature

Abstract. The aim of the present study is to report the results of a meta-synthesis of the empirical literature on scholars' attitudes towards Open Access (OA) journals. A total of 16 articles published in scholarly journals since 2002 (when the Budapest Open Access Initiative was released) were included in the study and five major themes emerged from their examination and analysis. The literature indicates that attitudes and perceptions of OA are varied across countries and across disciplines. Free access, which is perceived to facilitate wider dissemination of research outputs, is a strong incentive for publishing in OA. However, quality and reputation are the most important factors in selecting a journal and take priority over the availability of free access. Although OA is perceived to have many advantages over the traditional publication model, it raises some concerns too, especially in regard to the author-pays model, the quality of peer-review and the impact of the journals.

Digital innovations in poetry: Practices of creative writing faculty in online literary publishing

This research project explores, through a series of online surveys and subsequent series of individual interviews, stakeholders' attitudes and practices regarding poetry published exclusively in web‐based media. This article specifically examines the project's gathered data on creative writing faculty from North American institutions who were surveyed and interviewed about online poetry publishing as both creators and consumers of the literary works. This study also explores creative writing faculty members' opinions about publishing in online literary publications in regard to career impact, including tenure and promotion. As online literary publishing disrupts what continues to be a very print‐oriented practice, Rogers' “diffusion of innovations” provides a useful framework for exploring these issues. Because this project considers how innovations diffuse throughout a specific group of artists and scholars, and the information needs that emerge from these transformations, the concept of “communities of practice” also informed data analysis.

Trustworthiness and authority of scholarly information in a digital age: Results of an international questionnaire

An international survey of over 3,600 researchers examined how trustworthiness and quality are determined for making decisions on scholarly reading, citing, and publishing and how scholars perceive changes in trust with new forms of scholarly communication. Although differences in determining trustworthiness and authority of scholarly resources exist among age groups and fields of study, traditional methods and criteria remain important across the board. Peer review is considered the most important factor for determining the quality and trustworthiness of research. Researchers continue to read abstracts, check content for sound arguments and credible data, and rely on journal rankings when deciding whether to trust scholarly resources in reading, citing, or publishing. Social media outlets and open access publications are still often not trusted, although many researchers believe that open access has positive implications for research, especially if the open access journals are peer reviewed.
