A descriptive, cross-sectional study is presented whose objective was to determine the level of knowledge about and the attitudes toward open access journals among Cuban health researchers. To this end, a printed questionnaire was distributed between March and June 2007 to a group of researchers from Cuban national health institutes, who were chosen through stratified random sampling (160 researchers from 11 institutes). Variables included level of information about Open Access Movement terms and initiatives; papers published in open access journals; and reasons to publish, or not to publish, papers in such journals. Descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, and correspondence analysis were done using the SPSS statistical software, version 10.0 for Windows. Little knowledge of open access journals and other Open Access Movement terms and initiatives, and little use of open access journals as a publication means, were observed. Key words: Open access journals; Cuba; research institutes; Open Access Movement.
呈现一项描述性、横断面研究，旨在确定古巴卫生研究人员对开放获取期刊的知识水平和态度。为此，2007 年 3 月至 6 月期间，通过分层随机抽样（从 11 个研究所中选择 160 名研究人员），向古巴国立卫生研究所的一组研究人员分发了一份印刷问卷。变量包括对开放获取运动术语和举措的信息水平；发表在开放获取期刊上的论文；以及在这些期刊上发表或不发表论文的原因。使用 SPSS 统计软件（Windows 版 10.0）进行描述性统计、双变量相关性和对应分析。观察到对开放获取期刊和其他开放获取运动术语和举措的了解甚少，并且很少将开放获取期刊用作出版手段。关键词：开放获取期刊；古巴；研究所；开放获取运动。
