Abstract
This research project delves into the adoption and impact of several newly launched transformative open access publishing agreements introduced by Rowan University Libraries on faculty publishing behaviors and perspectives. Through a mixed-methods approach involving surveys and interviews, the research team aimed to uncover how the introduction of these new agreements has influenced the publishing choices of Rowan University researchers and their perceptions of open access publishing in general. Findings from this study contribute to the scholarship on transformative agreements and inform future strategies for promoting open access within academic communities. The study investigates the impact of these initiatives on researchers’ decisions regarding publication venues and their overall support for open access publishing. Insights gained from this study can inform the ongoing development and refinement of scholarly communication initiatives within the university and the broader academic community.
