Open Access, Research Data Management (RDM) and Open Science in Poland 2019

Data from a survey on attitudes and perceptions of librarians & researchers about Open Access, Research Data Management (RDM) and Open Science in Poland, collected in Q4 2019. Three files are provided - report on quantitative survey results, all responses in Polish, and all responses translated into English without the replies in open fields. It was collected via an online survey, targeted to approx. 7,500 Polish authors/researchers randomly selected from Scopus database and to approx. 800 librarians from Elsevier contact database. 461 responses in total representing a margin of error of ±4% at 90% confidence levels. This represent a response rate of ±6%. The data collection lasted for 1 week 29th Oct’19 to 5th Nov’ 19 with a survey reminder sent in between. Survey was designed in Polish. Notable findings: Librarians and researchers show a good understanding of Open Access. Nearly half of researchers have experienced publishing in a Gold OA journal. The publishing experience with Gold OA is positive. Value for money and reputation are the only aspects researchers rate Gold OA worse than subscription journals. Cost is the main reason for researchers not to publish in Gold OA journals. Researchers use mainly personal computers/clouds/drives to archive their research data and share it mainly within their project team. One third of libraries would benefit from obtaining more information about RDM in order to be able to support researchers. Most librarians and researchers consider their institution approach to RDM as (very) disorganised. Librarians are more knowledgeable about the concept than Researchers. Most libraries are currently supporting Open Science. Yet, the majority of researchers are not aware of the initiatives/ practices available in their institution. Librarians and researchers agree – Libraries are (very) important in the future of Open Science in Poland.

本数据集来源于2019年第四季度开展的一项针对波兰图书馆员与研究者对开放获取（Open Access, OA）、研究数据管理（Research Data Management, RDM）以及开放科学（Open Science）的态度与认知的调查。本次提供三份数据文件：分别为定量调查结果报告、全部波兰语原始问卷回复，以及剔除开放式问题回复后的全部问卷回复英译版本。本次调查采用线上问卷形式开展，调研对象为从斯高帕斯（Scopus）数据库中随机抽取的约7500名波兰作者/研究者，以及来自爱思唯尔（Elsevier）联系人数据库的约800名图书馆员。本次调查共回收有效问卷461份，在90%置信水平下的边际误差为±4%，对应应答率约为6%。数据收集周期为2019年10月29日至11月5日，共计一周，期间发送了问卷提醒。问卷初始设计语言为波兰语。主要研究发现如下：图书馆员与研究者对开放获取均具备较好的认知水平；近半数研究者曾在金色开放获取（Gold OA）期刊发表论文，且对金色开放获取的发表体验评价积极。在性价比与期刊声誉两个维度上，研究者认为金色开放获取期刊表现弱于订阅制期刊，这也是仅有的两项低于订阅制期刊的指标。经济成本是研究者选择不在金色开放获取期刊发表论文的首要原因。研究者主要通过个人电脑、云存储及外接存储设备归档研究数据，并主要在项目团队内部共享研究数据。约三分之一的图书馆希望获取更多研究数据管理相关信息，以提升对研究者的支持能力。多数图书馆员与研究者认为其所在机构的研究数据管理工作（极为）缺乏系统性。图书馆员对相关概念的掌握程度高于研究者。当前多数图书馆已开展开放科学相关支持工作，但多数研究者并不了解所在机构已推出的开放科学相关举措与实践。图书馆员与研究者均认可，图书馆在波兰开放科学的未来发展中（极具）重要性。
