What's wrong withpaywalled publishing?
Over 50% of medical institutions in Africa haveno journal subscriptions (WHO 2005)
Open Access literature:
scholarly literaturefreely available on public internetpermitting use, copy, distribution, ...
Golden Open Access= OA journals
Proportion of journals inDirectory of Open Access Journals
Green Open Access= non-OA journals
+ self archival
Proportion of repositories inDirectory of Open Access Repositories
What is influencing
Open Access usein Tanzanian health
sciences universities?
Study location
All 8 Tanzanianhealth sciences
universities
Methodology➢ Interviews
➢ Librarians
➢ Medical scientific staff
➢ Model conceptualization
➢ Pilot survey
➢ Cross sectional survey
➢ Medical scientific staff
➢ Model validation
Sampling➢ 617
= total population (all scientific medical staff of all 8 Tanzanian health sciences universities)
➢ 415
= random stratified sample
➢ 295
= # respondents (71.1% response rate)
Basis for conceptual model➢ Social Exchange Theory
➢ Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology ➢ Theory of Reasoned Action➢ Technology Acceptance Model➢ Motivational Model➢ Theory of Planned Behaviour➢ Combined TAM & TPB➢ Model of PC Utilization➢ Innovation Diffusion Theory➢ Social Cognitive Theory
Social Exchange Theoryadapted for open access by Kim
UTAUT model
Our (simplified)conceptual model
Ourvalidated model
Not significant: trustworthiness, publicity, altruism, fear of plagiarism, peer pressure
Significant factors
➢ for intention➢ Copyright concerns➢ Attitude➢ Academic reward➢ Accessibility➢ Preservation➢ Effort expectancy➢ Culture
➢ for actual usage➢ Professional recognition➢ Facilitating conditions➢ Behavioural intention➢ Copyright concerns➢ Professional rank➢ Technical skills➢ Number of publications
“I support the principle of open access"
Around 70% of their research publications are not openly accessible
“I support the principle of open access”➢ Agree 34%
➢ Strongly Agree 52%
1 of the 8 universities had a OA repository
1 of the 8 universities had a OA journal
Recommendations for institutions1.Inform about copyright, e.g. SHERPA/RoMEO
Recommendations for institutions2.Provide an institutional repository
Recommendations for institutions3.Promote OA and self-archival in reward policies
Recommendations for institutions4.Foster development of technical skills

➢ New model based on combination of SET & UTAUT➢ helps to understand OA adoption (in Tanzanian health universities)
➢ OA awareness is low
➢ OA publishing is not common practice
➢ OA principles are easily accepted by staff
➢ Actions needed to move forward
