大學學者對開放取用期刊認知與態度之研究—以國立中山大學為例

Abstract

本研究旨在探討大學學者對開放取用期刊的認知與態度之研究，目前國內研究大學教師對於開放取用期刊的看法及圖書館業務支援作法的相關文獻不多，透過本研究，期望能理解當前大學教師在學術期刊與開放取用期刊出版與使用方面所考量的因素與需求，進而有效評估圖書館在支持開放取用期刊服務之妥適性。研究方法採用混合研究法，主要採量化問卷調查法，輔以質性半結構式訪談，向研究對象國立中山大學教師發放問卷，發放期間為2023年5月1日起至2023年6月12日止，共回收102份有效問卷。並於2023年5月15日起至2023年5月31日間，進行7位教師半結構式訪談。根據研究結果，提出研究結論如下：一、教師發表研究成果時最重視期刊的品質或信譽；二、開放取用期刊可提升研究能見度，促進學術傳播與科學研究發展；三、教師將研究成果於開放取用期刊出版的數量比例增加；四、教師對於開放取用期刊的態度仍存在矛盾；五、作者發表開放取用期刊支付文章處理費將產生經濟負擔；六、圖書館可推廣開放取用期刊知識，舉辦投稿諮詢講座與辨識掠奪性期刊服務，與出版社簽訂投稿開放取用期刊文章處理費優惠方案；七、在傳統期刊與開放取用期刊並存的時代，圖書館應持續引進優質期刊，關注館藏傳統期刊是否轉型為開放取用期刊，適時調整讀者服務。根據研究結果，提出研究建議如下：一、大學學者與圖書館可共同交流開放取用及衍生的相關議題資訊；二、大學圖書館可主動推廣開放取用期刊資訊，收集各學科主題優質開放取用期刊清單方便讀者研究使用；三、服務機構或研究機構資助機構應訂定開放取用期刊規範或政策。This study aims to investigate university scholars' perceptions and attitudes towards open access journals. Currently, there is limited literature on how university faculty in Taiwan view open access journals and the related supports provided by academic libraries. Through this study, it is hoped to gain insights into the current considerations and needs of university faculty in terms of academic journal and open access journal publishing and utilization. This will enable us to effectively assess the appropriateness of library support for openaccess journal services.The research methodology employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative questionnaire surveys with qualitative semi-structured interviews. A questionnaire survey was distributed to the research participants, National Sun Yat-sen University faculty members. The survey distribution period was from May 1, 2023, to June 12, 2023, resulting in a total of 102 valid responses. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 7 faculty members from May 15, 2023, to May 31, 2023.Based on the research findings, the following conclusions are proposed: 1. Scholars prioritize the quality or reputation of journals when publishing research outcomes; 2. Open access journals enhance research visibility, promote academic dissemination, and advance scientific research; 3. Scholars are increasing the proportion of research outcomes published in open access journals; 4. There is still a contradiction in scholars’ attitudes towards open access journals; 5. Authors' publication of open access journal articles may incur economic burdens due to article processing charges; 6. Libraries can promote knowledge about open access journals, organize submission consultation seminars, and provide predatory journal identification services, along with signing agreements with publishers for favorable article processing charge schemes for open access journal submissions; 7. In an era of coexistence between traditional and open access journals, libraries should continueto acquire high-quality journals, monitor whether their journal collections are transitioning to open access, and adjust reader services as needed.Based on the research findings, the following research suggestions are proposed: 1. University scholars and libraries should collaborate to communicate and exchange information on open access and related issues; 2. University libraries should actively promote information about open access journals, curate lists of high-quality open access journals in various subject areas, and make them easily accessible for readers' research purposes; 3. Funding agencies or research institutions should establish standards or policies for open access journals.
