A new global study from AIP Publishing, the American Physical Society (APS),IOP Publishing (IOPP) and Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA)indicates that the majority of early career researchers (ECRs) [Researchers with 1–5 years of experience] want to publish open access (OA) but they need grants from funding agencies to do so.
[...] 67% of ECRs say that making their work openly available is important to them. Yet, 70% have been prevented from publishing OA because they have not been able to access the necessary monies from funding agencies to cover the cost. When asked why ECRs favour OA publishing, agreeing with its principles and benefitting from a wider readership were cited as the top two reasons.
Daniel Keirs, head of journal strategy at IOP Publishing said: "The OA views of the next generation of physicists are important as they are the harbingers of change when it comes to scholarly communications. What we see from this study is that ECRs believe that OA is the future, and they want to be able to reap the benefits of unrestricted access to research. Good progress has been made, but the transition to full OA must neither put researchers at a disadvantage nor disregard the costs necessary to produce, protect and preserve the quality and integrity of scholarly articles and the scientific record."

And, for those not aware, most new memberships to SoylentNews are being blocked by janrinok, to prevent publishing open source, and as a pure AC. Quite sad, really.

No new memberships have been blocked. However, sock puppets are being blocked.
I am not interested in knowing who people are or where they live. My interest starts and stops at our servers.

This new membership is about to be blocked, nullified, banned, censored.
Wonder why you will never hear from me, again? Censorship.

One truly wonders, how can janrinok inerrently tell the sock-puppets from the new members? Best ban them all, and let God sort them out, eh?
