Open Access, Preprints and Research Impact (OASE): Transcripts from Focus Group Interviews

EN: The dataset with 3 focus group interviews presented here was collected within the framework of the project "Open Access Effects – The influence of structural and author-specific factors on the impact of open access publications from various disciplines" (OASE). The aim of the project was to describe the transformation process from traditional to open access publishing with a bibliometric approach and to analyse existing (if applicable future) publishing strategies and conflicts in the context of open access. The overarching research question of the project was: What is the genuine open access effect and to what extent does it take place in different constellations? Related qualitative research data is a collection of three focus group interviews conducted online with researchers from 8 different disciplines and 14 different countries around the world. Interviewees were recruited from participants in a previous survey (Fraser, Mayr & Peters, 2021) and from registrations for a workshop held the day before the focus group interviews. Mixed sampling approach (convenience and theoretical sampling) to contrast views from researchers of different career status, discipline and resident country. DE: Der aus 3 Fokusgruppen-Interviews bestehende Datensatz wurde im Rahmen des Projekts "Open Access Effects – The influence of structural and author-specific factors on the impact of open access publications from various disciplines" (OASE) erhoben. Ziel dieses Projekts war es, den Transformationsprozess vom traditionellen zum Open Access (OA)-Publizieren bibliometrisch zu beschreiben und bestehende (ggf. künftige) Publikationsstrategien und -konflikte im Zusammenhang mit OA zu analysieren. Die Ergebnisse des quantitativ ausgerichteten Projekts wurden im Rahmen von Fokusgruppen-Interviews aufgegriffen und diskutiert. Ziel der im Dezember 2020 durchgeführten Interviews war es, mehr über die Erfahrungen von Forschenden mit der Veröffentlichung von Preprints und Journal-Artikeln im Open Access zu erfahren. Hierzu wurden qualitative Forschungsdaten aus drei Fokusgruppen-Interviews verwendet, die online mit Wissenschaftler:innen aus 8 unterschiedlichen Fachdisziplinen und 14 Ländern weltweit durchgeführt wurden. Die Interviewten wurden aus Teilnehmenden einer vorherigen Umfrage (Fraser, Mayr & Peters, 2021) und aus einem Workshop am Tag vor den Fokusgruppen-Interviews gewonnen. Kombiniertes willkürliches und theoretisches Sampling zur Kontrastierung von Einstellungen der Befragten im Hinblick auf Karrierestatus, Disziplin und Wohnort.
