    Open Access publishing and academics’ career assessment. Peer reviewers knowledge and opinions regarding open access journals in Argentina, Brasil and Mexico
    (Public Knowledge Project (PKP) Scholarly Publishing Conference 2013, 2013-08-21) Bongiovani, Paola Carolina; Gomez, Nancy Diana; Costa, Sely Maria de Souza; Rodríguez Jiménez, Teresa Margarita; Leite, Fernando César Lima; De Volder, Carolina; Moscoloni, Nora
    This presentation will discuss the project “Open Access (OA) and Academic Assessment. Researchers who serve in academic assessment committees’ knowledge and opinions regarding open access publishing in Argentina, Brazil and México” within the major project Quality of Open Access Publishing in Latin America. The work reported surveys the knowledge, attitudes and opinions regarding OA publishing among researchers who evaluate the academic career of their peers in the area of Social Sciences in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. A literature review identified that peer review, the prestige of journals and the need to reach their target audiences are the main motivations of researchers to choose where to publish their work, regardless of journals’ economic model (Cooning and Younce, 2009, Harley et al, 2010). Previous studies found an increase of scholars’ awareness of open access journals (Swan and Brown, 2004; Xia, 2010), although this has not been directly translated to their publication practices. Moreover, authors did not publish in open-access journals because of at least three reasons. First, they were not familiar with OA journals. Second, they considered OA journals to have low prestige and impact in the academic community they wanted to reach. Finally, due to high publishing fees of some OA journals (Harley et al., 2007; Xia, 2010; Dallmeier-Tiessen et al., 2011; Gómez et al., 2008; Sánchez-Tarragó y Fernández-Molina; 2008; Miguel et al., 2012; Bongiovani et al., 2012). It was also found that researchers feared that their academic careers could be negatively affected if they published in OA journals (Mann et al., 2009; Harley , et al., 2010; Pontika, 2011). Considering that specific research results are missing (Hurrell and Meijer-Kline, 2011) it was deemed important to study knowledge, attitudes and opinions regarding OA publishing among researchers who evaluate the academic career of their peers in Latin-America. The assumption behind the proposal is that if these researchers are not familiar with OA journals or do not value them, then peers undergoing evaluation may be unwilling to publish in OA journals, even if they considered them beneficial. Methodology: in order to collect data, an online survey will be sent to a representative sample of social science research committee members at Teaching and Research Incentive Program of National Universities in Argentina, CNPq and CAPES in Brazil, and National Researchers System of CONACYT in México. The study focus on factors influencing where authors choose to publish; relevant aspects considered in the evaluation of peer researchers; knowledge, opinions and attitudes towards OA journals; perceptions about both benefits and incentives provided by OA publications and difficulties and/or concerns about these new publications outlets. Results: Preliminary results obtained will be presented at the conference.

    Revistas de Acceso Abierto y opiniones de los evaluadores de carrera docente investigador en Argentina, Brasil y México
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2014-08) Bongiovani, Paola Carolina; Gómez, Nancy Diana; Moscoloni, Nora
    El proyecto “Acceso Abierto y Evaluación Académica. Conocimientos y opiniones de los evaluadores de carrera docente investigador respecto de las publicaciones de Acceso Abierto” investigó los conocimientos, opiniones y actitudes respecto a la publicación en revistas de Acceso Abierto (AA) de investigadores miembros de comités evaluadores de carrera científico-académica de sus pares en el área temática de Ciencias Sociales en Argentina, Brasil y México. Para alcanzar los objetivos propuestos se aplicó una encuesta online dirigida a una muestra de investigadores evaluadores en Ciencias Sociales miembros de comités evaluadores del Programa de Incentivos a Docentes Investigadores de las Universidades Nacionales de Argentina, del Consejo Nacional para el Desarrollo Científico y Tecnológico y CAPES de Brasil y del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores del CONACYT de México. Se indagaron: factores que influyen en la elección de las revistas donde publican; aspectos relevantes considerados en la evaluación de la producción científica de sus pares; conocimientos, opiniones y actitudes respecto de las revistas de AA; percepciones tanto respecto de los beneficios e incentivos más importantes de las publicaciones de AA como de las dificultades y/o preocupaciones que les generan estas publicaciones.
