Phys.org July 8, 2024 Research Consulting and the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) was commissioned to determine to what extent the vision, mission and objectives set out in the towards responsible publishing (TRP) proposal serve the needs of the global research community. Through a consultative approach, researchers in the UK sought to assess whether there is appetite for the type of change proposed by cOAlition S (an international consortium of research funding and performing organization’s) in the TRP proposal. In addition, they aimed to understand how the ‘Towards Responsible Publishing’ proposal may be modified or refined to ensure […]

Lack of grants from funding agencies biggest barrier to OA publishing in physical sciences, study finds
Phys.org August 22, 2022 AIP Publishing, the American Physical Society (APS), IOP Publishing (IOPP) and Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA) conducted a study on Open Access (OA). Over 3,000 physical science researchers from across the globe participated in the OA in physics. According to the study over half (53%) of physical science researchers want to publish OA but 62% say a lack of monies from funding agencies prevents them from doing so. Over the past 5 years, 14% of respondents have not published OA at all, and over 50% have only published one article per year OA over that period. […]
