To assess the level of knowledge about and the attitudes of the Cuban health researchers towards the open access movement.
A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2007 through a printed questionnaire administered to a group of Cuban researchers from several national health institutes, who were selected by means of a stratified random sampling (160 researchers from 11 institutions). Summary statistics and bivariate correlations were obtained using the spss statistical program, version 10.0 for Windows.
The best known initiatives for researchers were those related to biomedical sciences, i.e. PubMed Central, HINARI and BioMed Central. The rate of publication in open access journals and deposit in open access repositories was low. Most of researchers (85%) agree to upload a copy of their papers onto an open access repository if their institution requests so.
Our findings indicate a need for the promotion of the beneficial aspects of the open access movement, as well as training and encouragement for researchers so that they can take full advantage of the potential of this movement.
评估古巴卫生研究人员对开放获取运动的了解程度和态度。
这是一项 2007 年 3 月至 6 月期间进行的描述性、横断面研究，通过向来自多个国家卫生研究所的一组古巴研究人员发放印刷问卷进行，这些研究人员是通过分层随机抽样（来自 11 个机构的 160 名研究人员）选择的。使用 spss 统计程序（Windows 版 10.0）获得汇总统计数据和双变量相关性。
研究人员最熟悉的举措是与生物医学科学相关的举措，即 PubMed Central、HINARI 和 BioMed Central。开放获取期刊的出版率和开放获取知识库的存储率较低。大多数研究人员（85%）同意，如果他们的机构要求，将他们的论文副本上传到开放获取知识库。
我们的研究结果表明，需要宣传开放获取运动的有益方面，并为研究人员提供培训和鼓励，以便他们能够充分利用这一运动的潜力。
