Mind the Gap: Publisher Wiley deployed a survey in May 2013 to 107,000 corresponding authors of Wiley journal articles.
Key findings include:
- The number of open access authors has grown significantly.
- Quality and profile of open access publications remains a concern.
- There are indications of author confusion around funder mandates.
- Respondents overwhelmingly preferred the more permissive licenses.
- Considerable differences emerge between early career professionals and more established colleagues when comparing funding and payments for APCs.
