In 2019 Springer Nature will publish a report on book authors’ attitudes to publishing and the awareness and perceived benefits of open access.
Book authors are being asked to contribute to this report by completing a survey. They will be able to indicate at the end of the survey if they would like to receive a copy of the report. They will also have the chance to win one of five $100 gift cards. All academic book and chapter authors (including those published by another publisher) are invited to complete the survey, whether they have published an open access book, or know absolutely nothing about open access.
The survey will close on 3 March 2019, and the anonymised raw data will be made freely available under a CC BY licence.
