摘要:As the ASIS&T Board of Directors began investigating the feasibility of making the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology an open access journal, they and the journal’s current publisher, Wiley-Blackwell, decided to survey current ASIS&T members, current JASIST authors and researchers in the broader field of information science about the notion of open access. Through this and future surveys ASIS&T would be able to monitor the effects that an open access policy may have on membership, submissions, access, readership and attitudes towards open access. The survey also had the benefit of allowing the board to gauge demographics, publication trends and attitudes toward open access among current ASIS&T members.
