PEER Behavioural Research: Final Report on authors and users vis-a-vis
journals and repositories now available at: ****

http://www.peerproject.eu/reports/****

** **

The PEER Behavioural Research Team from ****Loughborough**
**University****(Department of Information Science & LISU) has
completed the behavioural
research commissioned by PEER. The research which consisted of two phases
adopted a mixed methods approach consisting of surveys, focus groups and
an interdisciplinary workshop and was carried out between April 2009 and
August 2011.****

** **

The specific aim of the behavioural research was to understand the extent
to which authors and users are aware of Open Access (OA), the different
ways of achieving it, and the (de)motivating factors that influence its
uptake.****

** **

The report integrates findings from the first phase of the research with
the more in depth.****

** **

focus of phase two of the research, which drilled down into some of the
key findings of the phase 1 results.****

** **

Key conclusions:****

** **

*Over the period of Phases 1 and 2 of the behavioural research the
increase in the number of researchers who reported placing a version of
their journal article(s) into an Open Access Repository was
negligible.****

** **

*Researchers who associated Open Access with 'self-archiving' ****

were in the minority. Open Access is more likely to be associated with
'self-archiving' (Green Road) by researchers in the Physical sciences &
mathematics and the Social sciences, humanities & arts, than those in the
Life sciences and Medical sciences who are more likely to associate Open
Access with Open Access Journals (Gold Road).****

** **

*There is anecdotal evidence that some researchers consider making journal
articles accessible via Open Access to be beyond their remit.****

** **

*Authors tend to be favourable to Open Access and receptive to the
benefits of self-archiving in terms of greater readership and wider
dissemination of their research, with the caveat that self-archiving does
not compromise the pivotal role of the published journal article.****

** **

*Readers have concerns about the authority of article content and the
extent to which it can be cited when the version they have accessed is not
the final published version. These concerns are more prevalent where the
purpose of reading is to produce a published journal article, and are
perceived as less of an issue for other types of reading purpose.****

** **

*Academic researchers have a conservative set of attitudes, perceptions
and behaviours towards the scholarly communication system and do not
desire fundamental changes in the way research is currently disseminated
and published.****

** **

*Open Access Repositories are perceived by researchers as complementary
to, rather than replacing, current forums for disseminating and publishing
research.****

About PEER:****

** **

PEER (Publishing and the Ecology of European Research), supported by the
EC eContentplus programme, is investigating the effects of the
large-scale, systematic depositing of authors' final peer-reviewed
manuscripts (so called Green Open Access or stage-two research output) on
reader access, author visibility, and journal viability, as well as on the
broader ecology of European research. The project is a collaboration
between publishers, repositories and researchers and will last from
September 2008 to May 2012.* ***
