A model for measuring open access adoption & usage behaviour of health sciences faculty members
1 like2,519 views
The document presents a model assessing open access adoption and usage among health sciences faculty in Tanzania, focusing on a study conducted across eight universities. Key findings include significant factors influencing openness, such as copyright concerns, academic rewards, and accessibility, while highlighting that approximately 70% of research is not openly accessible. Recommendations are made for institutions to enhance open access publishing, including the establishment of repositories and promotion of self-archiving.

- 3. What's wrong with paywalled publishing?
- 5. Over 50% of medical institutions in Africa have no journal subscriptions (WHO 2005)
- 6. Open Access literature: scholarly literature freely available on public internet permitting use, copy, distribution, ...
- 7. Golden Open Access = OA journals Proportion of journals in Directory of Open Access Journals Green Open Access = non-OA journals + self archival Proportion of repositories in Directory of Open Access Repositories
- 8. What is influencing Open Access use in Tanzanian health sciences universities?
- 9. Study location All 8 Tanzanian health sciences universities
- 10. Methodology ➢ Interviews ➢ Librarians ➢ Medical scientific staff ➢ Model conceptualization ➢ Pilot survey ➢ Cross sectional survey ➢ Medical scientific staff ➢ Model validation
- 11. Sampling ➢ 617 = total population (all scientific medical staff of all 8 Tanzanian health sciences universities) ➢ 415 = random stratified sample ➢ 295 = # respondents (71.1% response rate)
- 12. Basis for conceptual model ➢ Social Exchange Theory ➢ Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology ➢ Theory of Reasoned Action ➢ Technology Acceptance Model ➢ Motivational Model ➢ Theory of Planned Behaviour ➢ Combined TAM & TPB ➢ Model of PC Utilization ➢ Innovation Diffusion Theory ➢ Social Cognitive Theory
- 13. Social Exchange Theory adapted for open access by Kim
- 14. UTAUT model
- 16. Our validated model Not significant: trustworthiness, publicity, altruism, fear of plagiarism, peer pressure
- 17. Significant factors ➢ for intention ➢ Copyright concerns ➢ Attitude ➢ Academic reward ➢ Accessibility ➢ Preservation ➢ Effort expectancy ➢ Culture ➢ for actual usage ➢ Professional recognition ➢ Facilitating conditions ➢ Behavioural intention ➢ Copyright concerns ➢ Professional rank ➢ Technical skills ➢ Number of publications
- 18. “I support the principle of open access" Around 70% of their research publications are not openly accessible “I support the principle of open access” ➢ Agree 34% ➢ Strongly Agree 52% 1 of the 8 universities had a OA repository 1 of the 8 universities had a OA journal
- 19. Recommendations for institutions 1.Inform about copyright, e.g. SHERPA/RoMEO
- 20. Recommendations for institutions 2.Provide an institutional repository
- 21. Recommendations for institutions 3.Promote OA and self-archival in reward policies
- 22. Recommendations for institutions 4.Foster development of technical skills
- 23. 23 ➢ New model based on combination of SET & UTAUT ➢ helps to understand OA adoption (in Tanzanian health universities) ➢ OA awareness is low ➢ OA publishing is not common practice ➢ OA principles are easily accepted by staff ➢ Actions needed to move forward Conclusions
