Abstract

Historically, scientific journals were edited and under responsibility, mainly, of academic or scientific institutions. More recently, private publishers assumed this task, what has generated additional costs to science, including to having access to publications. In order to disrupt this reasoning, in the 2000’s, the Open Access Movement appeared and inspired the foundation of open access scientific journals. After almost two decades, the number of journals in open access format has exceeded nine thousand, according to DOAJ. Considering the role of such kind of journal in diffusing scientific research, the present study aimed to investigate whether researchers awarded with CNPq 1A productivity fellowship use open access journals as a strategy to diffuse their research. The analysis of all journal articles, listed in the Lattes Platform, authored by this particular team of researchers revealed that a relevant and growing part of their articles are in open access journals, an indication that a fraction of these notable researchers value such type of scientific journals.
