Authors in China and Japan are more receptive to OA publishing.
18
Nature Publishing Group surveys authors every year, and in January 2013 asked questions about OA activity and attitudes. NPG received over 23,000 responses to this survey, and respondents were comprised of a mix of authors published in NPG-journals and non-NPG journals alike.
Some clear differences emerged between authors based in China and Japan and those based in the US and Europe. Firstly, it was suspected that authors in China and Japan tended to have budget allocated within their grant for publication costs – this did indeed to be more common than in the US and Europe.
19
Those authors who had published under an OA model were asked why. Authors from China and Japan were much more likely to give ‘publishing’ reasons for choosing OA – believing that an OA paper would receive more citations, be read more widely and be published faster.
20
Those authors who had not published OA were asked why not. It is apparent that awareness of OA is much greater in the US and Europe, and that concerns about perceptions of quality seemed to be highest in the US.

• There is stronger support in the scientific community and more funds available for OA in Asia despite lack of government mandates.
• This translates to unusually high numbers of OA papers in Nature Communications and Scientific Reports from Japan and in particular China.
• Frustrations over lack of visibility of Asian research in the West and a belief that OA will increase visibility may be driving Asian (Japan and China) scientists to publish OA with more determination than their Western colleagues.
