The awareness and rate of e-publishing differs among faculties, it based on this that this study was carried out to survey the situation of e-publishing and open access of librarians in three federal universities in Southern Nigeria, five research questions were formulated to guide the study. The methodology adopted is descriptive survey, questionnaire was given to a total population of 64 librarians consisting of librarians from the institutions understudy, the data collected from the study shows that though librarians are aware of e-publishing but they have not being publishing as should have been expected in University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) out of the 95% that aware of electronic publishing only 30% have published there articles electronically, in University of Lagos (UNILAG) 100% indicated that they have published electronically while in University of Benin (UNIBEN) 45.4% percent indicated yes while 54.5% said they have not published their articles electronically. On availability of open access it was discovered that they have access as a total of 84% from UNN responded Yes, UNILAG 100% said Yes while in UNIBEN 90.9%. The following problems based on their scoring militating against e-publishing and open access in Nigeria.

A publicação eletrônica é possível a partir da introdução de tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC), e cujo desenvolvimento provocou aumento do número da comunicação científica em circulação. A conscientização sobre isso e a taxa de publicação eletrônica difere entre os professores de três universidades federais do sul da Nigéria. É com base nessa realidade que este estudo foi conduzido, a fim de pesquisar a situação da publicação eletrônica de acesso aberto nas bibliotecas desses professores, a partir de cinco questões de pesquisa formuladas. A metodologia adotada foi a pesquisa descritiva e, para tanto, um questionário foi aplicado a um total de 64 bibliotecários das instituições em estudo. Os dados coletados, a partir da pesquisa, demonstram que embora os bibliotecários estejam cientes do desenvolvimento da publicação eletrônica, os mesmos não têm publicado como se esperava. Na UNN dos 95% sujeitos pesquisados que estão cientes quanto à tendência da publicação eletrônica, somente 30% publicaram artigos em formato eletrônico. Na UNILAG 100% dos pesquisados indicaram que têm publicado em formato eletrônico, na UNIBEN apenas 45,4% publicaram, enquanto 54,5% afirmaram que não publicaram seus artigos em formato eletrônico. Em relação a disponibilidade de acesso, na UNN verificou-se que eles têm acesso a um total de 84%; na UNILAG 100% afirmaram que possuem acesso; enquanto na UNIBEN 90,9% dos sujeitos pesquisados afirmaram que possuem acesso. Os problemas mencionados que limitam a publicação eletrônica e o acesso aberto na Nigéria são: alimentação inadequada; terminais de computadores inadequados; financiamento insuficiente para o pagamento de assinatura inadequado.Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências2013-07-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/article/view/177610.36311/1981-1640.2013.v7n1.04.p41Brazilian Journal of Information Science: Research Trends; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2013); 41-58Brazilian Journal of Information Science: Research Trends; Vol. 7 Núm. 1 (2013); 41-58Brazilian Journal of Information Science: research trends; v. 7 n. 1 (2013); 41-581981-1640reponame:Brazilian Journal of Information Scienceinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP)instacron:UNESPengporhttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/article/view/1776/2442https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/article/view/1776/2443Ikponmwosa, Obaseki TonySchorlastica, NkwomaNgozi, Ukachi B.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-09-25T17:08:43Zoai:ojs.revistas.marilia.unesp.br:article/1776Revistahttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/indexPUBhttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/bjis/oaibrajis.marilia@unesp.br||1981-16401981-1640opendoar:2020-09-25T17:08:43Brazilian Journal of Information Science - Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP)false
