Abstract

In this study, we aim to investigate the publishing strategies adopted by the Brazilian scientific community, and how it is related with the researchers’ scientific capital. The “research productivity” grant (PQ grant) was taken as an indicator of scientific capital: the higher is the PQ grant a researcher receives the higher is his/her scientific capital. Personal data from 6,993 researchers linked to at least one Brazilian graduate program in biological sciences were obtained through the Sucupira Platform, data on articles published from 2000 to 2019 were retrieved from Lattes Platform and DOAJ was considered to classify articles as OA. Our main findings indicate that subscription-based journals are the most prevalent publishing strategy, but the proportion of OA publications is increasing over time, mainly with APC. We also observed that the lower is the level of PQ grant, the higher is the share of articles in OA journals. Finally, we observed a growing trend in the percentage of researchers with high and mid-high adherence to OA from all levels of PQ grant, but mainly with APC. Mapping the dynamics of publishing strategies can play an important step towards driving policies oriented to the promotion of OA. https://www.webofscience.com/api/gateway/wos/peer-review/10.1162/qss_a_00308

开放获取运动 20 年：巴西生物科学研究人员出版策略与科学资本之间关系的回顾性研究

在本研究中，我们旨在调查巴西科学界所采取的出版策略，以及这些策略与研究人员的科学资本之间的关系。我们将 "研究生产率 "补助金（PQ 补助金）作为科学资本的指标：研究人员获得的 PQ 补助金越高，其科学资本就越高。我们通过 Sucupira 平台获得了与至少一个巴西生物科学研究生项目相关联的 6993 名研究人员的个人数据，从 Lattes 平台检索了 2000 年至 2019 年发表的文章数据，并考虑了 DOAJ 对文章的 OA 分类。我们的主要研究结果表明，基于订阅的期刊是最普遍的出版策略，但随着时间的推移，OA出版物的比例正在增加，主要是APC。我们还发现，PQ 资助水平越低，OA 期刊中的文章比例越高。最后，我们观察到，在所有 PQ 资助级别中，高度和中度坚持 OA 的研究人员比例呈增长趋势，但主要是采用 APC 的研究人员。绘制出版战略的动态图谱可以为推动以促进开放式获取为导向的政策迈出重要一步。https://www.webofscience.com/api/gateway/wos/peer-review/10.1162/qss_a_00308。
