The purpose of this paper is to describe the findings of a survey of Bulgarian faculty about the extent to which their research is openly available, awareness of the European Union Competitiveness Council open access goal, support for the goal and preferences for achieving it.,The authors conducted a survey of 584 faculty at six universities in Bulgaria using the Qualtrics online survey software. There were 222 effectively surveyed respondents.,Bulgarian researchers are aware of arguments in favor of open access and believe that it benefits researchers in their discipline. Only a little more than a third of Bulgarian faculty are familiar with the E.U. goal of open access to all publicly-funded research by 2020. Once the goal is explained, they support it. Authors may not understand the intricacies of green and gold open access, but they are willing to meet the E.U. goal by either publishing in open access journals (the gold method) or depositing articles in open access repositories (the green method).,The results are useful to countries and funding agencies interested in achieving open access to state funded research.,To date, there has been no research that seeks to determine the degree to which researchers are aware of the E.U. Competitiveness Council’s goal or that seeks to determine faculty preferences for achieving that goal. This paper explores methods available for achieving open access to the results of publicly funded research in Bulgaria.

保加利亚作者的开放获取意识和偏好

本文的目的是描述对保加利亚教师的调查结果，包括他们的研究公开可用的程度、对欧盟竞争力委员会开放获取目标的认识、对目标的支持和实现目标的偏好。,作者使用 Qualtrics 在线调查软件对保加利亚六所大学的 584 名教师进行了调查。有 222 名接受有效调查的受访者。,保加利亚研究人员意识到支持开放获取的论点，并相信它有利于他们学科的研究人员。只有略多于三分之一的保加利亚教职员工熟悉欧盟到 2020 年开放获取所有公共资助研究的目标。一旦目标得到解释，他们就会支持它。作者可能不了解绿色和金色开放获取的复杂性，但他们愿意通过在开放获取期刊上发表（黄金方法）或在开放获取知识库中存放文章（绿色方法）来实现欧盟目标。结果对有兴趣实现开放获取的国家和资助机构有用国家资助的研究。迄今为止，还没有任何研究试图确定研究人员对欧盟竞争力委员会目标的了解程度或试图确定教师对实现该目标的偏好。本文探讨了可用于实现对保加利亚公共资助研究成果的开放获取的方法。结果对有兴趣实现对国家资助研究的开放获取的国家和资助机构很有用。,迄今为止，还没有研究旨在确定研究人员对欧盟竞争力委员会目标的了解程度或试图确定教师对实现这一目标的偏好。本文探讨了可用于实现对保加利亚公共资助研究成果的开放获取的方法。结果对有兴趣实现国家资助研究的开放获取的国家和资助机构很有用。,迄今为止，还没有研究旨在确定研究人员对欧盟竞争力委员会目标的了解程度或试图确定教师对实现这一目标的偏好。本文探讨了可用于实现对保加利亚公共资助研究成果的开放获取的方法。
