Trust versus Perceived Quality in Scholarly Publishing: A Personality-Attitude-Intention Approach
Moksness, Lars; Olsen, Svein Ottar
College & Research Libraries, v79 n5 p671-684 Jul 2018
Researchers at UiT--The Arctic University of Norway--studied how agreeableness and conscientiousness influence trust and perceived quality and how these factors subsequently impact the intention to publish research articles via open access (OA) or non-OA channels. The main findings show that, while trust increases intention to publish via OA, it decreases intention to publish via non-OA channels. Indicators of perceived quality, on the other hand, exert a positive influence on the intention to publish via non-OA, while decreasing the intention to publish non-OA. The results suggest that trust is pivotal in increasing publishing via OA.
