Open Access

Between December 2024 and January 2025, we conducted a survey whose purpose is understanding what KU researchers need and how much they recognize OA policies.
We received responses from 745 individuals (602 faculty members and research staffs, and 143 doctoral students), and we are pleased to publish the aggregated results.

The results will be used to consider better research support services such as Article Processing Charge (APC) and Kyushu University Institutional Repository (QIR).
We sincerely thank all participants for their valuable responses.
