During the past few years, academic research and publishing has faced many disruptions and challenges including predatory publishing, transparency in metrics, the push for open access, and now recently, the greater prevalence of Artificial Intelligence. Now in its second year, the IGI Global Annual Academic Publishing Trends & Open Access Survey 2024 seeks to create a realistic outlook on problems faced by the academic community and their potential solutions.
In less than five minutes, researchers, librarians, and academicians everywhere can lend their voices to initiate change within academic research and publishing by participating in this survey. The survey takes about three to five minutes to complete.
The survey is designed to serve as a vessel for the global academic community to better understand the current challenges and opportunities facing researchers and their institutions. It is expected that the answers and opinions voiced via the survey will reflect upon the current state of research and publishing, providing future directions for the research community, institutions, and the academic publishing industry. Participants of the survey will have the ability to share their views on the impacts of:
• Artificial Intelligence
• Open Access
• Peer Review Processes
• Metrics
• General Ethics
• Current and Forthcoming Research Trends
The survey will officially close June 30, 2024. Respondents of the survey will remain anonymous, and a summary of the findings will be shared and made freely accessible to all.
