Access vs. Importance: A global study assessing the importance of and ease of access to professional and academic information: Phase I Results

PRC's own brief summary: "This study for PRC gained responses from over 3800 researchers world-wide and asked them about what types of information were important to them, and how easily they found they could get access to them. All disciplines rated journal articles as the most important. While 93% found access to them either 'very easy' or 'fairly easy', there were other important types of information, such as data sets, to which access was difficult. PRC would like to extend these studies to include users of research information who do not themselves publish."
