| KRATKA VSEBINA | Uvod: Znanstveno publiciranje je objavljanje rezultatov znanstvenih raziskav vznanstvenih revijah. Znanstveno publiciranje ni možno brez komuniciranja, ki poteka med znanstveniki, ko siizmenjujejo informacije. Pri izmenjavi informacij v znanstvenem komuniciranju imajo pomembno vlogo znanstvene revije. Zanimalo nas je, kakozaradi spremembe neformalnega komuniciranja, kotje odprti pristop, le-to vpliva na proces znanstvenega komuniciranja, in koliko znanstveniki svoje prispevke objavljajo v elektronskih publikacijah. Metode: Opravljena je bila anketa o uporabnosti elektronskega publiciranja pri znanstvenem komuniciranju. Vprašalnik je bil sestavljen iz 36 vprašanj, vprašanja so bila odprtega, stopenjskega in izbirnega tipa. Poslan je bil 46 naključno izbranim avtorjem prispevkov revije Zdravstveno varstvo, ki so svojeprispevke objavili v letu 2005. Rezultati: Rezultati ankete so pokazali, da je v zadnjih treh letih kar 80 % vprašanih pričelo objavljati tudi v elektronski obliki. Strah pred slabše ocenjenimi objavami je odveč, saj je kar94 % vprašanih menilo, da so recenzije v elektronskih publikacijah enake recenzijam v tiskanih publikacijah. Vsi sodelujoči v anketi so odgovorili, da so pri znanstvenem delu avtorske pravice objavljenih del pomembne oz. zelo pomembne. Zaključek: Opravljena anketa o elektronskem publiciranju potrjuje pomembno vlogo, ki jo imajo elektronske publikacije v znanstvenem komuniciranju. Le-te so namenjene širšemu znanstvenemu krogu in postajajo sestavni del znanstvenega procesa. Brez objavljanja raziskovalnih rezultatov velektronskih publikacijah pa te ne bodo igrale pomembne vloge v procesu znanstvenega komuniciranja. Pri prijavah na raziskovalne projekte, ki jih razpisuje Javna agencija za raziskovalno dejavnost Republike Slovenije (ARRS),je izrednega pomena seznanjenost z aktualnimi temami in viri informacij. Elektronske znanstvenerevije so pri tem ključnega pomena, kar je potrdila tudi opravljena anketa.Vsi sodelujoči v anketi, ne glede na starost ali akademski položaj, uporabljajo elektronske znanstvene revije za pripravo na raziskovalne projekte. // Background: Scholarly communication is the publication of research findings inscientific journals. Scientific publishing is not possible without scientific communication and exchange of information between scientists. Scientific journals play an important role in the exchange of scientific information. The aim of the study was to find out how open access to scientific communication affects the process of this communication and to determine to what extent scientists publish their workelectronically. Methods: A survey of the use of electonic publishing in scholarly communication was conducted. The questionnaire including 36 open-ended, scaledand closed-ended questions was sent to 46 randomly selected authors whose contributions appeared in the journal "Zdravstveno varstvo" in 2005. Results: The survey showed that in the previous three years, as many as 80 percent of the respondents turned from the print to electronic medium. The form of publication had no impact on the rating of their scientific work: 94 percent of the responders said that reviewers used the same standards for papers in electronic form and for contributionsappearing in print medium. Allsurvey participants shared the view that copyrights represent an important or a very important issue in the realm of publication of research findings. Conclusions: The survey of electronic publishing has confirmed the critical role of electronically published research data in scholarly communication. These publications are intended for wider scientific circles and have become an integral part of the scientific process. Publishing research findings in electronic medium is mandatory for the scholarly communication process. Familiarity with topicalissues and information sources is of utmost importance for applications forresearch projects grantedby the Public Research Agency of the Republic of Slovenia (ARRS). The survey has confirmed the significant role of electronic scientific journals inthis context. All survey participants, whatever their age and academic status, consulted electronic scientific journals for the preparation of their research projects. |
