Umfrage zu Open Access an der ETH Zürich | wisspub.net

From Google Translate: "Overall, the survey largely confirms what was already known about OA at the ETHZ. The OA policy of ETHZ is good, but it has been lacking in internal weight for years. At the ETHZ, and especially in the library, there is no one who asks the researcher in laborious work to post the postprint for this and that publication to the institutional repository. Accordingly, there is no regular contact and exchange between library staff and researchers, and so many researchers say that they are uninformed. This leaves the repository empty. If you are currently looking to research articles for 2017, you will find a total of 2797 articles, but just 122 (4%) are Open Access. atZORA , it is comparatively 598 of 1404, thus 42%.

Really new is the realization that researchers are very ready for boycott measures. This contradicts the attitude of many library directors, especially in Switzerland, that the library is a victim between publishers and researchers, and that ultimately the publishers can not resist. On the contrary, the survey shows that the involvement of researchers and transparent information on prices and negotiations can certainly be expected with the support of research pages. After all, 74% of the researchers welcome a change from the subscription model to OA."
