The Survey of Higher Education Faculty: Use of Digital Repositories and Views on Open Access

Primary Research Group, November 2009, Pages: 65

The Survey of Higher Education Faculty: Use of Digital Repositories and Views on Open Access presents data on how higher education faculty in the United States and Canada view the growing digital repository/open access movement. Who cooperates with requests from librarians and who does not? Who has been approached by librarians to contribute articles to repositories? Who among faculty sympathizes with the aims of open access? How many scholars have had a publication fee paid for them by their library, college or academic department? How many and which faculty understand the terms digital repository or open access as they are used in an academic library context?

The report presents the results of a survey of more than 550 higher education faculty in the United States and Canada. Data is presented in the aggregate and for 12 criteria including academic field, size of college, type of college, academic title and other factors.

Just a few of the report's many findings are that:

- 13% of the faculty in the sample had ever used a college's institutional digital repository for scholarly research purposes.

- About 28% said that they sympathize and try to help out by providing open access to their research materials as much as they possibly can.

- Although the tenured are less likely than the untenured to have heard of digital repositories, they are roughly twice as likely to have actually contributed an article to one of them.

- 74.62% of the faculty of the sample understood the meaning of the term "open access". Individuals on the left wing of the political spectrum were more likely than those on the right wing to understand this term.

The Survey of Higher Education Faculty is a series of twelve reports based on a survey of 555 full time higher education faculty in the United States and Canada. An initial representative sample of 350 colleges was chosen from the more than 4,500 accredited colleges in the United States and Canada. Lists of faculty from these colleges were aggregated and randomly sampled. Studies in this series include reports on trends in research, teaching, tenure, faculty use of the academic library and other topics. Data is broken out by 12 criteria including academic rank, field of study, tenure status, age of faculty member, political opinions of the faculty member, size of college, type of college, USA or Canada and other factors.
