Abstract

This study surveyed editors of 309 gratis open access journals in Korea in order to examine the reason why they decided to open their journals to the public on the Web. Also this study examined their perceptions and attitudes toward open access publishing. The main reasons of open access publishing in Korea were expansion of free use, increasing citation, and international trends regarding open access in their scholarly fields. Also, 65% of all respondents were aware of the concepts of open access, and 75% supported open access. The reasons of supporting open access were sharing of research results with the public, increasing the availability of peer researchers, and enhancing journal reputations.

본 연구는 국내 학술지 중 상용DB를 통하여 원문서비스를 제공하지 않고 무료로 원문을 공개하는 309종의 학술지들이 어떤 이유로 무료서비스를 선택하였는지를 파악하기 위하여 학술지 편집인들을 대상으로 조사하였다. 또한 이들 무료 오픈액세스 학술지 편집인의 오픈액세스에 대한 인식과 지지도 및 지지이유에 대해서도 파악해보고자 하였다. 연구결과 오픈액세스를 선택한 이유는 학술논문의 무료이용 확대와 인용 확대의지, 해당 학문분야의 국제적 분위기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 학술지 편집인들은 오픈액세스에 대하여 알고 있는 경우가 약 65%, 지지하는 응답자가 약 75%였다. 지지 이유로는 학술연구성과 공유, 동료연구자의 이용가능성 확대, 학술지 인지도 향상 등을 제시하였다.
