How do faculty decide where to publish? Today’s #OAWeek2020 thread features results from our survey of 300+ academics on their publishing decisions (1/n)

#OpenAccessWeek #AcademicChatter

We used a range of methods to explore how factors like age, tenure status, and expectations of other faculty relate to publishing decisions. (2/n)

It turns out, when it comes to where to publish, faculty say they care most about reaching readers — but think their peers value prestige & impact factors. (3/n)

And when it comes promotion and tenure decisions, faculty expect to be judged first and foremost on the number + prestige of their publications. (4/n)

On a more positive note, faculty told us that they truly valued open access! (they just weren't so sure that their peers did too) (5/n)
