Survey Methodology

Survey Design

This is an Annex to the 2014 Taylor & Francis Open Access Survey report, available at Taylor & Francis Online:

http://www.tandfonline.com/page/openaccess/opensurvey/2014

Towards the end of the survey, authors were asked to select the country they are primarily based in. Those authors

selecting one of thirteen countries that have developed significant Open Access policies were directed to a page with a

brief summary of their country’s policies and some questions. Additionally, authors based in one of the 28 member states

of the European Union were also directed to a page about Horizon 2020.

This Annex covers the results from the sub-set of authors from both the Main Survey and the European Mandates Survey

who are based in any of the 28 nations of the European Union answering questions about Horizon 2020 policy.

After the section on Regional Questions, authors who said they were primarily based in the European Union were routed

along the path highlighted in red below before re-joining the Main Survey for the section on Open Access Services:

* Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,

Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain.

Survey Methodology

Population Surveyed

The 2014 Taylor & Francis Open Access Survey was sent throughout March 2014 to authors published during the year 2012

(the subsequent year to the 2013 Taylor & Francis Open Access Survey, which was sent throughout December 2012 to mid-

January 2013 to all authors published during 2011), who had not previously opted out of receiving surveys sent by the

Research and Business Intelligence Department.

Any author who had published more than one article in 2012 had their subsequent articles removed from the list before

mailing.

In order to ensure a sufficient number of responses to the questions around Open Access policies, a separate survey

comprising just the Open Access Mandates questions for European countries was compiled and sent to a further 15,000

non-corresponding European authors.

Response Rates

Both the Main Survey and the European Mandates Survey were sent via Survey Monkey’s email distribution interface.

The following methods were employed to maximize the response rates:

The survey invites were sent in batches by region timed to hit close to optimal time for survey responses;

The survey was incentivized with five prize draws, each for an Amazon Voucher to the value of 100 USD and the

chance to win a 1000 USD travel grant to attend an academic conference (Main Survey only);

Two follow-up emails were sent to non-respondents as a reminder.

The following table gives a breakdown of the response rates for each survey:

Executive Summary

Introduction

In 2011, European Union member states asked the European

Commission to propose a framework which unified all the existing

research funding into one structure. In November 2013, the

European Parliament voted in favour of the new Horizon 2020

framework and the European Council adopted it in December 2013.

Since January 2014, researchers who receive funding from Horizon

2020 must follow a two-stage process to ensure their articles and

datasets are open access:

Stage Compliance Deadline

1 Deposit a machine-readable version in an online repository

No later than publication

2 Ensure open access by either one of two routes:

Green route: by granting

open access to repository

6 months (STM) 12 months (SSH)

Gold route: by publishing

in an open access journal

No later than end of project

Overview

Across the EU, just over 4 in 10 [42%] authors said they were

already aware of the Horizon 2020 policy – around half [51%] of

whom said they understood what the policy meant, and a further

third [34%] of whom said they were mid-way between those with a

full understanding and those with none at all.

However, when taking into account those authors who had not

heard about Horizon 2020 policy until they completed the survey,

the level of understanding drops to 37%.

It is unsurprising that three-quarters [74%] of respondents to a

survey in March 2014 had not yet published work under a policy

which only commenced in January that year.

However, the fact 6 in 10 [61%] were unable to say whether or not

they would publish work under this policy in the future is probably

because researchers do not know if the EU’s Horizon 2020 fund will

provide a component of their research budget in the coming years.

That said, one third [33%] of authors do envisage publishing work

that needs to comply with this policy in the future.

Most authors in the EU [55%] agree that the mandate which applies to

published articles funded through this framework will mean their work

is read by more people, although significantly fewer [40%] believe that

it will enable their work to reach people outside their field.

It remains to be seen whether authors feel Horizon 2020 will help

them secure grant funding and how easy they feel it will be to

comply with this policy; nearly as many disagreed as agreed on

these topics, and the largest single group comprised those authors

occupying the middle-ground who are currently undecided either

way.

Subject analysis

Compared to authors in the Social Science and Humanities, authors

in Science, Technical and Medical subjects are more likely to have a

greater level of awareness and understanding of this policy; more

likely to publish work under it in the future; and are more likely to

think that doing so will increase their readership.

However, there are no discernible differences between SSH and

STM authors in their attitudes towards any of the other potential

benefits.

Age analysis

Awareness of the policy is lower amongst authors in their 20s

compared to most older age-brackets, yet their reported levels of

understanding is very similar to authors in their 30s and 40s,

although most [69%] are unsure if they will publish work under this

policy in the future.

At least 4 in 10 authors in each age group between 30 and 69 are

aware of the policy, with awareness highest amongst those in their

60s [47%]. Yet more authors in their 50s and 60s admitted they did

not understand the policy compared to authors under 40.

The level of agreements about the four potential benefits –

readership, reaching outside the field, citations and impact –

steadily declines with each decade across these age brackets from

30 to 70.

With less than a quarter [22%] of authors over 70 planning to

publish work funded by Horizon 2020 in the future, it is

understandable these authors have the lowest level of awareness

and understanding of the policy of any age group.

Gender analysis

Gender plays no role in determining the level of an author’s

awareness or understanding of Horizon 2020, nor the likelihood

they will publish under this policy in the future.

However, female authors are more inclined to agree with each of

the four potential benefits mentioned above, as well as its ability to

help them secure grant funding, than their male counterparts.

Years of Experience analysis

Except for authors with less than 5 years’ of experience, who are

less likely to be aware of the policy than average, an author’s level

of experience does not influence their awareness or understanding.

Agreement about the benefits of this policy initially rises with

experience – peaking amongst authors with between 10 and 14

years of experience – before declining again thereafter.

Introduction

Policy overview: Horizon 2020 is the European Union Framework Research programme covering the period from 2014 – 2020. €80 billion in research funding will be made available during this period to grantees from member states. Open Access forms part of the policy documentation (Gold and Green).

What do funded researchers have to do?

Researchers should apply for publication funds as part of their grant proposal and the APC should be paid before their project ends.

They should deposit their article in a repository. This can be the final published article or the accepted version of the article. They must do this within either 6 months (S&T) or 12 months (SSH) of publication. This article should be machine readable.

Data related to the article should also be deposited in a data repository.

Further information: This summary of the policy has been created by Taylor & Francis for this purpose of this survey. For complete and up to date information please follow the link below to visit the funder’s website. Please note that not all OA policies for the country / region are listed here.
