“…Uniqueness or exclusiveness has been a critical analysis of product innovativeness and has offered as the primary dimension at times (Hoeffler & Keller, 2003;Rogers, 2003, Valente & Rogers, 1995Sanni et al, 2013;Schiffman & Kanuk, 2004a;2004b;Singh et al, 2012;Tidd, 2010;Tidd et al, 1997). So, this prompts a definition whereby the level of innovativeness is not a distinct development but rather equals to the degree of originality.…”

“…the Scholarly Communication Process model presented by Jisc (2015). We also find this type of theory applied to questions of scientific resource discovery in the private sector (Schonfeld, 2016), adoption rates of e-publishing (Sanni et al, 2013), and the use of pre-print servers (Meyer & Kling, 2002). Theories of this type are the most likely of any to be considered "theories of explaining", since when developed rigorously they offer not just a representation of the status of relationships and processes, but of their underlying causal effects.…”

“…In other words, both theories are directly relevant to important and pressing aspects of OA research. In the case of Innovation Diffusion Theory, we found it most often used to explore specific aspects of OA, particularly institutional repository development (Bamigbola, 2014;Dorner & Revell, 2012a;Kingsley, 2008;Pinfield et al, 2014;Stanton & Liew, 2011a;Swanepoel, 2005;Xu, 2008), OA journal development (Ayeni, 2017;Greco, 2016;Sanni, Ngah, Karim, Abdullah, & Waheed, 2013), and the availability and use of central OA funds (Hampson, 2014;Pinfield & Middleton, 2016). Other uses were broader, with the theory applied to the diffusion of OA in general terms (Costa, 2006;Xia, 2012).…”

Open Access in Theory and Practice investigates the theory-practice relationship in the domain of open access publication and dissemination of research outputs. Drawing on detailed analysis of the literature and current practice in OA, as well as data collected in detailed interviews with practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, the book discusses what constitutes "theory", and how the role of theory is perceived by both theorists and practitioners. Exploring the ways theory and practice have interacted in the development of OA, the authors discuss what this reveals about the nature of the OA phenomenon itself and the theory-practice relationship. Open Access in Theory and Practice contributes to a better understanding of OA and, as such, should be of great interest to academics, researchers, and students working in the fields of information science, publishing studies, science communication, higher education policy, business, and economics. The book also makes an important contribution to the debate of the relationship between theory and practice in information science, and more widely across different fields of the social sciences and humanities.

“…The research model did not include trialability and observability in the study. Sanni et al (2013) drew upon the Diffusion of Innovation Theory to examine five attributes of ejournals as possible influences to the rate of e-journal publishing adoption. Their research findings showed that only complexity and trialability emerge as significant contributors to e-journal adoption rates.…”

“…These studies confirmed the perceived characteristics of innovation identified by Rogers (1983Rogers ( , 1995. They explained technology adoption behavior in specific technology contexts, but the results of salient perception factors were inconsistent (Liao & Lu, 2008;Lin, 2011;Huang & Hsieh, 2012;& Sanni et al, 2013). Therefore, based on the original study by Rogers (1983), the following hypotheses were tested: H1: The perceived characteristics of innovation of e-book have a positive impact on users' purchase intention.…”

E-book has grown into a revolutionary way of publishing due to the rapid development of mobile technologies. The Association of American Publishers (AAP) revealed that Ebook sales were down in 2014. Many designers consider E-book should be produced with dynamic format to increase purchase behavior. This study focuses on individual users' perceived characteristics of innovation and the flow of e-books with different presentation types as explanatory and predictive variables impacting the purchase behavior of users. The experiment was conducted using 200 student volunteers at a comprehensive university. There are significant differences in the perceived characteristics of innovation, flow and purchase intention for different presentation types of e-book readers. Flow is an important factor influencing the e-book purchase intention and carries the same weight in each group tested. For reading static e-book content on a tablet, users' perceived observability and flow have positive impacts on their purchase intention. Conversely, users' perceived complexity has a negative effect on their purchase intention. The research results suggest that designers and publishing companies produce static, not dynamic e-books for use on the tablet to increase E-book sales.
