The IDAHO project team is inviting journal editors to participate in qualitative interviews on the topic of challenges to open access publishing faced by authors who do not have strong ties to academia, but are actively engaged in research and publishing (e.g. independent researchers, retired researchers, citizen science researchers, refugee scientists, researchers working for civil organizations etc).
The aim of the interviews is to evaluate editors' awareness of excising challenges and explore any strategies or support initiatives they have in place.
We are looking for a global perspective, so location is not a limitation — we welcome insights from journal editors worldwide and across all disciplines. The interview will take approximately 40 minutes.
If you are interested, have any questions, or would like more information about the study or the IDAHO project, please reach out to Nataliia.Kaliuzhnatibeu
