“…However, the majority of our interview participants were not familiar with UIC’s repository, INDIGO. This resembled the findings of researchers at the University of Florida, who learned that agriculture faculty infrequently used their repository and were often not aware of the full potential of this resource [30]. Faculty might focus on publishing in venues where they know they can reach a specific audience and might not be concerned with finding a central, permanent hosting site for their research outputs.…”

Objective: This study explores the variety of information formats used and audiences targeted by public health faculty in the process of disseminating research.Methods: The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with twelve faculty members in the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago, asking them about their research practices, habits, and preferences.Results: Faculty scholars disseminate their research findings in a variety of formats intended for multiple audiences, including not only their peers in academia, but also public health practitioners, policymakers, government and other agencies, and community partners.Conclusion: Librarians who serve public health faculty should bear in mind the diversity of faculty’s information needs when designing and improving library services and resources, particularly those related to research dissemination and knowledge translation. Promising areas for growth in health sciences libraries include supporting data visualization, measuring the impact of non-scholarly publications, and promoting institutional repositories for dissemination of research.

“…Moreover, public health research dissemination science has noted a need for changes in funding requirements in order to promote the dissemination of research findings to community stakeholders [42]. Scientific output through academic publications has seen a tremendous increase since the early 1900s, roughly tripling; some researchers feeling particularly pressured to not only publish but to also publish their work in high-impact journals [43,44]. Finally, Hanneke [45] noted that researcher workloads were significantly increased when they shared results with multiple audiences through various methods.…”

“…Numerous studies consistently demonstrate a positive attitude among researchers toward open access [22][23][24], with a consensus on its two primary advantages: widespread availability and enhanced visibility [25]. The significance of open access is particularly pronounced for readers in developing countries [26][27][28]. The broader readership of open access articles compared to subscription journals not only amplifies citation rates and author visibility but also fosters opportunities for international collaboration [29].…”

This study aims to investigate the attitudes and actions of scientific journal editors in China towards open access. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 Chinese editors from various scientific journals during September and October of 2022. The results indicate that the editors generally possess knowledge of open access and have implemented an appropriate open access model for their respective journals. However, the Chinese-language journal editors expressed a lack of motivation to adopt open access, unless there is a reform in the mechanism of academic publishing or a policy is imposed. On the other hand, the English-language journal editors acknowledged that they have no other choice but to adopt open access. This study helps us learn about Chinese editors’ understanding and attitudes towards open access, the current status of open access in China’s scientific journals, and the mechanisms of academic publishing in China.
