Authors and Users vis-à-vis Journals and Repositories (05.02.2010)
PEER Behavioural Research: Baseline report available
Von: DINI-Geschäftsstelle
The behavioural baseline report is based on an electronic survey of authors (and authors as users) with more than 3000 European researchers and a series of focus groups covering the Medical sciences; Social sciences, humanities & arts; Life sciences; and Physical sciences & mathematics. The objectives of the Behavioural Research within PEER are to:
- Track trends and explain patterns of author and user behaviour in the context of so called Green Open Access.
- Understand the role repositories play for authors in the context of journal publishing.
- Understand the role repositories play for users in context of accessing journal articles.
The baseline report outlines findings from the first phase of the research and identifies the key themes to emerge. It also identifies priorities for further analysis and future work.
