Open Access Awareness in Scholarly Communication: The Case of Çankaya University

Abstract

The Scholarly Communications processes consist of collecting and analyzing of data—including published information—through its transformation into publications or other output, and its usage or preservation by other users. In this respect, researchers, publishers, libraries and data managers play important roles in applying and implementing of scholarly communications.1 Conventionally, the flow of scientific papers’ publication starts by a research activity followed by manuscript submission, peer review, publishing cost by publisher and so on. Whereas, in open access publication, after peer review the cost of publication is paid by the author (See, Figure 1).
