          Abstract

          El presente trabajo tiene como principal objetivo conocer las opiniones y prácticas de difusión en Acceso Abierto (AA) de los docentes/investigadores de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR), de la Argentina, y sus necesidades en relación con la utilización del Repositorio Institucional (RI). Se basa en las 783 respuestas a una encuesta a docentes/investigadores de la UNR realizada en 2012. Los resultados de este estudio demuestran que un 80% de los docentes/investigadores de la UNR que respondieron la encuesta, acuerdan con la modalidad de difusión académica en AA. Sin embargo, se observa que solo el 13% de los encuestados usa el RI para difundir su producción en acceso abierto, debido, sobre todo, al desconocimiento de su existencia. Las vías más comunes de difusión en acceso abierto son revistas científicas de AA, sitios web de las facultades y de centros o grupos de investigación, así como en páginas web personales. Lo que más motivaría a los docentes/investigadores para difundir sus trabajos en el RI, es el mayor uso por sus colegas docentes/investigadores, estudiantes y público en general. Por otra parte, del RI se valoran los servicios de búsqueda avanzada más adaptada a sus necesidades y perfil de usuario y los informes estadísticos de uso de los trabajos.

          Translated abstract

          This paper presents the results of a survey at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario, in Argentina, to know the opinions about, and use of, Open Access (OA) by professors and researchers at the university, and their needs in relation to the use of the university Institutional Repository (IR). It is based on 783 replies to a survey implemented in 2012. The results of this survey show that 80% of professors and researchers at UNR, in all subject areas, agree with the OA dissemination of outputs in all academic areas. However, only 13% of professors and researchers use the IR for dissemination of its own scholarly output, mainly due to ignorance of its existence. The most frequent uses for dissemination in OA are open access journals, websites of the faculties and research centers or groups, as well as personal websites. What motivates professors and researchers to disseminate their work in the IR, is the use of it by their fellow professors/researchers, students and the general public. Moreover, they value from the IR the advance search facilities tailored to their needs and user profile, and the availability of usage statistics of their work.

          Self-Selected or Mandated, Open Access Increases Citation Impact for Higher Quality Research

          Background Articles whose authors have supplemented subscription-based access to the publisher's version by self-archiving their own final draft to make it accessible free for all on the web (“Open Access”, OA) are cited significantly more than articles in the same journal and year that have not been made OA. Some have suggested that this “OA Advantage” may not be causal but just a self-selection bias, because authors preferentially make higher-quality articles OA. To test this we compared self-selective self-archiving with mandatory self-archiving for a sample of 27,197 articles published 2002–2006 in 1,984 journals. Methdology/Principal Findings The OA Advantage proved just as high for both. Logistic regression analysis showed that the advantage is independent of other correlates of citations (article age; journal impact factor; number of co-authors, references or pages; field; article type; or country) and highest for the most highly cited articles. The OA Advantage is real, independent and causal, but skewed. Its size is indeed correlated with quality, just as citations themselves are (the top 20% of articles receive about 80% of all citations). Conclusions/Significance The OA advantage is greater for the more citable articles, not because of a quality bias from authors self-selecting what to make OA, but because of a quality advantage, from users self-selecting what to use and cite, freed by OA from the constraints of selective accessibility to subscribers only. It is hoped that these findings will help motivate the adoption of OA self-archiving mandates by universities, research institutions and research funders.
