Moreover, academicians doubted the quality and production standards (copyediting and typesetting) in OA publishing. However, there is a general agreement that OA offers fundamental benefits.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\" value=\"3\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><u>Research accessibility shouldn\u2019t be dictated by money:<\/u> The strongest point of agreement among academicians is that the ability to pay should not determine the quality of research publication (65% authors agreed on this).

However, when academicians were asked to choose between publishing (a) in the best journal possible regardless of cost, (b) a journal that doesn\u2019t charge for publication, (c) or a journal that doesn\u2019t charge for reading: 52% chose the best journal regardless of cost; 39% chose a journal that doesn\u2019t charge them to publish; and 9% preferred journals that don\u2019t charge readers.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\" value=\"5\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><u>Funders play a vital role in publication:<\/u> Out of 11,927 respondents, more respondents \u201cthink\u201d funders will dictate where they publish (31%) than \u201clike\u201d this idea (11%).<\/span><\/span><!--pagebreak--><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\" value=\"6\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><u>Low inclination to publishing in OA journals:<\/u> As few as 9% respondents said that they would actively choose to publish in OA journals.
