To understand the publishing priorities, especially in relation to open access, of 10 UK biomedical research funders.
Semistructured interviews.
10 UK biomedical research funders.
12 employees with responsibility for research management at 10 UK biomedical research funders; a purposive sample to represent a range of backgrounds and organisation types.
Publicly funded and large biomedical research funders are committed to open access publishing and are pleased with recent developments which have stimulated growth in this area. Smaller charitable funders are supportive of the aims of open access, but are concerned about the practical implications for their budgets and their funded researchers. Across the board, biomedical research funders are turning their attention to other priorities for sharing research outputs, including data, protocols and negative results. Further work is required to understand how smaller funders, including charitable funders, can support open access.
了解 10 家英国生物医学研究资助者的出版重点,特别是与开放获取相关的出版重点。
半结构化访谈。
10 家英国生物医学研究资助者。
10 家英国生物医学研究资助者中负责研究管理的 12 名员工;有目的地选择了具有不同背景和组织类型的样本。
公共资助和大型生物医学研究资助者致力于开放获取出版,并对最近的发展感到满意,这些发展刺激了该领域的增长。规模较小的慈善资助者支持开放获取的目标,但担心这对他们的预算和受资助研究人员的实际影响。总的来说,生物医学研究资助者正在将注意力转向研究成果(包括数据、方案和负面结果)的其他共享优先事项。需要进一步研究如何支持开放获取,包括较小的资助者(包括慈善资助者)。
