论文摘要

开放访问(OA)出版的兴起之后,文章出版费(APC)的扩展将学术期刊出版的财务负担从读者转移到作者。我们介绍了国际随机选择的采样调查(n = 3,422)的结果,该调查探讨了对学者中这种付费出版或金OA模型的态度。我们在这方面测试了年龄,专业职位,纪律和收入水平国家的预测作用。我们发现,APC被认为是对科学的全球威胁,而不是对个人职业职业的威慑。中低水平收入水平国家的学术界对APC系统持有最不利的意见。与STEM和生命科学相比,较少的实验学科对APC的看法更多。年龄和获得外部资金的机会是拒绝付款的负面预测指标。对OA自我囚禁的承诺预测了对APC的负面看法。我们得出的结论是,获得外部研究基金会影响对出版模型的薪水的接受和特定感知,并指出问题的经济维度并警告中心与外围之间的不平等问题。

The rise of open access (OA) publishing has been followed by the expansion of the Article Publishing Charges (APC) that moves the financial burden of scholarly journal publishing from readers to authors. We introduce the results of an international randomly selected sampled survey (N=3,422) that explores attitudes towards this pay-to-publish or Gold OA model among scholars. We test the predictor role of age, professional position, discipline, and income-level country in this regard. We found that APCs are perceived more as a global threat to Science than a deterrent to personal professional careers. Academics in low and lower-middle income level countries hold the most unfavorable opinions about the APC system. The less experimental disciplines held more negative perceptions of APC compared to STEM and the Life Sciences. Age and access to external funding stood as negative predictors of refusal to pay to publish. Commitment to OA self-archiving predicted the negative global perception of the APC. We conclude that access to external research funds influences the acceptance and the particular perception of the pay to publish model, remarking the economic dimension of the problem and warning about issues in the inequality between center and periphery.
