Item Data Underlying "Is the open access citation advantage real? A systematic review of the citation of open access and subscription-based articles"(2021-06-03) Langham-Putrow, Allison; Bakker, Caitlin; Riegelman, Amy; cjbakker@umn.edu; Bakker, CaitlinThis data underlies a systematic review project: "Is the Open Access Citation Advantage Real?" This project considers whether materials that are published open access receive a greater number of citations than materials published in subscription-based resources. The data here are extracted from 134 relevant studies. The data also include a risk of bias assessment that considers the methodological quality and flaws of the included studies.Item Mathematicians' Views on Current Publishing Issues: A Survey of Researchers(2011-07-15) Fowler, Kristine K.This article reports research mathematicians’ attitudes about and activity in specific scholarly communication areas, as captured in a 2010 survey of more than 600 randomly-selected mathematicians worldwide. Key findings include: • Most mathematicians have papers in the arXiv, but posting to their own webpages remains more common; • A third of mathematicians have published papers in Open Access journals, with speed of publication being seen as the primary advantage over traditional journals, but there is substantial philosophical opposition to OA journal models that charge author fees; • Tenure and promotion criteria influence publishing decisions even among most tenured faculty members; • Mathematicians want to keep more rights to their publications than they’ve been allowed, but they have a high success rate in negotiating with publishers for more; • Online collaboration tools, such as Google Groups, are not yet widely used for research but their use is expected to rise in the near future. Reasons behind the mathematics culture of openness were also explored.Item Reprints: More for Than Against(1989-02-23) Sandy, John HThis correspondence published in Nature, International Weekly Journal of Science, presents arguments for the continued use of reprints to promote scholarly communication.
