Open access provides an alternative opportunity of publishing research articles besides the traditional subscription-based publication model. Facilitating higher visibility, accessibility, and dissemination, among others, open access addresses modern needs of our information and communication society. Though these factors are vital, there also do exist initial problems to become prevalent. Especially, costs like article publication charges seem to have an impact on the author's decision not to publish open access. In order to gain a deeper insight on incentives for open access publishing (as well as on barriers for not publishing open access), we developed a specific survey within the scope of our Trans-O-MIM project. Conducted at HEC2016, we primarily involved participants of the Annual General Assembly of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA). As main incentives and motivation for open access publishing had been identified: article indexing, impact factor, accessibility/availability, dissemination, and visibility.
除了传统的基于订阅的出版模式外，开放获取为发表研究文章提供了另一种机会。开放获取促进了更高的可见性、可获取性和传播性等，满足了我们信息和通信社会的现代需求。尽管这些因素至关重要，但也确实存在一些亟待解决的初始问题。特别是，诸如文章发表费用等成本似乎会影响作者不选择开放获取出版的决定。为了更深入地了解开放获取出版的激励因素（以及不进行开放获取出版的障碍），我们在跨医学信息模型（Trans-O-MIM）项目范围内开展了一项专项调查。该调查于2016年健康经济会议（HEC2016）期间进行，主要参与对象是国际医学信息学协会（IMIA）年度大会的参会者。已确定的开放获取出版的主要激励因素和动机包括：文章索引、影响因子、可获取性/可用性、传播性和可见性。
