Author Perspectives on Academic Publishing - Global Survey Report 2018Editage is committed to promoting positive discussions and changes in the industry, and to this effect, we present this report on a large-scale author survey that was designed to systematically gather inputs from authors on wide-ranging topics related to academic publishing: difficulties they face in manuscript preparation, their understanding of publication ethics, their attitudes toward open access, and their opinions about peer review.
This report aims to provide answers to questions such as:
Which aspects of academic publishing do authors from key non-native
English-speaking geographies struggle with the most?
What are some of the pressing concerns that journals, publishers, funders,
and other bodies should take note of when attempting to engage with
authors from emerging regions?
