Abstract

El movimiento de acceso abierto (open access en inglés, OA) ha explosionado en los últimos años. En 2016 invitamos a 1.896 investigadores de instituciones españolas a rellenar una encuesta sobre su opinión, actitudes y prácticas con respecto al OA. Analizamos las 554 respuestas recibidas de investigadores en todas las áreas del conocimiento (ratio de respuesta del 29%). La mayoría de los investigadores (86%) conocen revistas en OA en su campo y creen que el OA es beneficioso para su disciplina (76%). Sin embargo no se posicionan claramente con respecto a la calidad de dichas revistas, aunque se observan diferencias entre disciplinas. Casi el 70% de los investigadores han publicado al menos un artículo en OA en los últimos 5 años. La mitad de ellos tuvo que pagar tasas para publicar que fueron cubiertas con fondos de investigación. AbstractThe open access (OA) movement has exploded in the last few years. In 2016 we invited 1,896 researchers based in Spanish institutions to fill in a survey on their opinion, attitudes and practices towards OA. We analysed the 554 responses received from researchers in all fields of knowledge (29% response ratio). Most researchers are aware of OA outlets in their fields (86%) and believe OA is beneficial (76%). There isn’t a clear position on the quality of OA journals among Spain-based researchers and there are differences between disciplines. Almost 70% of researchers have published at least one OA article in the last 5 years. Half of them had to pay article processing charges (APCs) that were covered with research funds.
