Publication des enquêtes sur les coûts de publication (projet GRIP-APC)

English below – Español abajo.

Nous sommes très fiers d’annoncer la publication des principaux résultats de l’enquête internationale sur les pratiques de publication et les coûts APC (Amérique latine et Afrique) menée par le projet GRIP-APC qui sont désormais accessibles à tous. Les résultats ont été déposés sur  communauté GRIP APC Study sur Zenodo .

Entre 2023 et 2024, une équipe de chercheurs internationaux, dirigée par Fernanda Beigel (CECIC-CONICET) et financée par le Global Research Institute of Paris (GRIP°) a étudié l’impact des frais de publication des articles (APC) dans les articles scientifiques dans quatre pays : l’Argentine, le Brésil, le Mexique et l’Afrique du Sud.

Les résultats de la première phase du projet offrent un aperçu de la manière dont les scientifiques dans des contextes non hégémoniques réagissent aux transformations de l’écosystème de l’édition avec le développement du “libre accès”. Les enquêtes en ligne ont permis de recueillir des données primaires à partir de 13 577 réponses de chercheurs scientifiques confirmés dans quatre pays cibles entre août 2023 et février 2024.

L’objectif principal de cette enquête était de recueillir des informations détaillées sur la position des chercheurs dans leurs domaines nationaux, leurs pratiques en matière de publication, leur accès au financement et leur perception du libre accès et des frais de traitement des articles (APC). L’équipe de recherche a conçu l’enquête et l’a traduite en portugais et en espagnol, en l’adaptant aux systèmes scientifiques et aux directives de carrière de chaque pays. La confidentialité des répondants a été privilégiée, toutes les informations sensibles ayant été supprimées de l’ensemble de données avant sa publication.

L’étude GRIP-APC a généré un ensemble complet de ressources qui élargissent notre compréhension de l’édition en libre accès dans les pays du Sud. Parmi les principaux résultats, citons une base de données ouverte contenant l’enquête, des références à des articles publiés dans des revues indexées sur les pratiques en matière d’APC et les politiques des agences de financement nationales, un rapport technique sur le contexte au Brésil et des prépublications qui donnent un aperçu des futures communications scientifiques de l’équipe. Ensemble, ces contributions permettent de mieux comprendre la manière dont les chercheurs d’Amérique latine et d’Afrique font face aux nouvelles tendances en matière de communication scientifique. Elles offrent également des recommandations sur la manière de relever les défis que les modèles commerciaux posent à une participation équitable à la circulation des connaissances.

Tous les résultats sont librement accessibles dans la communauté Zenodo du projet. Vous trouverez ci-dessous une liste de toutes les ressources liées au projet qui sont librement accessibles.
