Introduction
This survey, circulated in the final weeks of 2012 leading into early 2013, was the largest single survey conducted by
our Research & Businesses Intelligence Department to date, receiving over 14,700 responses. We asked the Taylor
& Francis author community for their views on Open Access publishing and their level of involvement with it.
Why did we carry out this survey? Our motivation was a genuine curiosity about the views of our authors towards
Open Access, and many related topics, such as peer review, licensing, re-use and metrics.
The Open Access environment has been developing at an extraordinary rate, and we wanted to ensure we had an
up-to-date understanding of our authors views and needs in response to these changes, in order to adapt our
services and policies accordingly. We have long-standing experience of sending out surveys on a number of topics
to authors, editors and society partners and believe that this is a very effective way of receiving rapid feedback from
those communities.
Essentially, we believe that authors should be able to choose the best publication outlet for their research, whether
Open Access or otherwise. Whilst Open Access may not be suitable for everybody, Taylor & Francis want to add this
option to our wide and varied publishing programme for those who want to, or may be required to, use it in the
future. Getting our authors feedback on this issue is invaluable to us as we expand and continue to refine our Open
Access options across our portfolio.
We wanted to make the results of the full survey available for all to read and so have produced this document
providing charts showing the raw results from all the questions in the survey along with details about the survey
population and resulting sample. This is provided under a creative commons attribution license.
Open Access Author Survey March 2013 3
 Survey Methodology
Details of the population surveyed
The survey was conducted by Taylor & Francis Research and Business Intelligence Department. It was sent to all
authors, who published in a Taylor & Francis journal in the year 2011 and had not opted-out of surveys or been
recently surveyed in another capacity.
Any authors who had published more than one article in 2011 had their second article removed from the list.
The survey was sent to the whole population of 2011 authors who remained after the above processes.
Survey design
It was originally intended that Section 8, the Future of Open Access Publishing, would ask authors both what they
 think will happen over the next ten years, and what they  would like to happen over the next ten years.
However, it was too difficult to ask both of these in a meaningful way in one set of questions. It was therefore
decided to create two identical surveys, which differ only by the words  think will happen and  would like to
happen in Section 8  and then send half the population to one survey, and half to the other.
Confidence intervals
The confidence intervals for the questions vary with the actual number of respondents for each question and
percentage of respondents giving an answer. For the main part of the survey the maximum confidence interval (at a
95% confidence level) for any one question is 0.84. So for all questions in the main part of the survey we can be 95%
confident that the true percentage of the population (Taylor & Francis 2011 authors) who would give that response
would fall within Ä…0.84% of the percentage of the sample giving that response.
For the Think or Like section of the survey where half the sample was sent each version, the maximum confidence
level is 1.55. So for all questions in the Think or Like section of the survey we can be 95% confident that the true
percentage of the population (Taylor & Francis 2011 authors) who would give that response would be within Ä…1.55%
of the percentage of the sample giving that response.
If we assume that our authors were a representative sample of all authors (or at least all authors in subjects in which
Taylor & Francis publishes) then the confidence interval for the main part of the survey would remain under 1% even
if the underlying population was as large as 17 million (which is the founder of Academia.edu s estimation of the
number of all Faculty Members plus Graduate Students in the world1). Our sample will actually be skewed towards
the Social Sciences and Humanities where we are particularly strong and will contain relatively few Medical and Life
Sciences researchers, so it is probably safer to say that these results are representative of all Taylor & Francis authors
rather than all authors. The sample will also under represent those who already actively choose to publish in Paid
Open Access journals.

Overall response rate
The survey was sent via Survey Monkey s email distribution interface.
The following methods were employed to try to maximize the response rates:
·ð The survey invites were sent in batches by region timed to hit close to optimal time for survey responses
(11am), for example the emails to Asia were sent at 3am GMT;
·ð The survey was incentivized with two prize draws, each for an Amazon Voucher to the value of 100 USD;
·ð A reminder e-mail was also sent to all non-respondents.
The following tables give a breakdown of the response rates for each region:

Respondents from Asia are slightly under-represented in the survey, whilst respondents from the USA & Canada are
slightly over-represented. Response profiles from all other regions match the profile of the underlying population
(namely Taylor & Francis authors from 2011  Emails sent) fairly closely.

Please note: the number of responses for the Like version of this question was much lower than for
the Like versions of the all earlier questions in this section and is only two-thirds the response rate
of the Think version of this question. Perhaps many respondents skipped the question as neither of
the possible answers reflected what they would like to happen. For instance, some authors might
like innovation through Open Access, but without others being able to freely use their work. This
makes the findings from the Like version of this question less reliable.

Introduction
We are sending you this survey because you have previously published an article with Taylor &
Francis or Routledge Journals.
There have been many recent developments around Open Access, particularly around  author
pays Open Access, where there is a charge to publish in the journal, covered by the author or their
funder. We would like to hear your views on this and as such would be grateful if you could help us
with this short survey, which should take about 10 minutes to complete.
Those who respond by 6 January 2013 will be eligible to enter a draw to win a US$100
Amazon.com voucher.
Entering the prize draw will not affect the anonymity of your answers.
