Resumen

El movimiento de acceso abierto (open access en inglés, OA) ha explosionado en los últimos años. En 2016 invitamos a 1.896 investigadores de instituciones españolas a rellenar una encuesta sobre su opinión, actitudes y prácticas con respecto al OA. Analizamos las 554 respuestas recibidas de investigadores en todas las áreas del conocimiento (ratio de respuesta del 29%). La mayoría de los investigadores (86%) conocen revistas en OA en su campo y creen que el OA es beneficioso para su disciplina (76%). Sin embargo no se posicionan claramente con respecto a la calidad de dichas revistas, aunque se observan diferencias entre disciplinas. Casi el 70% de los investigadores han publicado al menos un artículo en OA en los últimos 5 años. La mitad de ellos tuvo que pagar tasas para publicar que fueron cubiertas con fondos de investigación.
