ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences among journal publishers and among academic disciplines on factors influencing the adoption of open access. Through the analysis of previous studies, we identified five such factors: journal publishers' attitudes, ability, confidence, social influence and material resources available for open access. The results show that a significant difference among journal publishers from social influence factor. This result implies that efforts toward journal subscribers to have a positive attitude and material resources are important factors for journal publishers. There was a significant difference among academic disciplines in terms of journal publishers' attitudes and ability factors. The findings of this result imply that academic journals need to share more information about open access and that priority should be given to journals that have the ability to influence the adoption of open access.
