In this study, the authors examine attitudes of researchers toward open access (OA) scholarly journals. Using two-step cluster analysis to explore survey data from faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers at large North American research institutions, two different cluster types emerge: Those with a positive attitude toward OA and a desire to reach the nonscholarly audience groups who would most benefit from OA (“pro-OA”), and those with a more negative, skeptical attitude and less interest in reaching nonscholarly readers (“non-OA”). The article explores these cluster identities in terms of position type, subject discipline, and productivity, as well as implications for policy and practice.

北美学者对开放获取学术期刊的态度

在这项研究中，作者调查了研究人员对开放获取 (OA) 学术期刊的态度。使用两步聚类分析来探索来自北美大型研究机构的教师、研究生和博士后研究人员的调查数据，出现了两种不同的聚类类型：对 OA 持积极态度并希望接触那些愿意参与的非学术受众群体的人群。大多数受益于 OA（“pro-OA”），以及那些对接触非学术读者（“non-OA”）持更消极、怀疑态度和较少兴趣的人。本文在职位类型、学科学科和生产力方面探讨了这些集群身份，以及对政策和实践的影响。
