Abstract
As budget constraints and the pandemic continue to impact academic institutions significantly, this altmetric assessment will help us determine whether business school faculty are becoming more receptive to making their research more accessible to the public, scholars, and other higher education institutions that cannot obtain access to specific journals. This poster presentation will demonstrate the extent of faculty’s publications that OA compared to non-OA and their relative scholarly impact and metrics for 2014-2019. The findings suggest that professors are slowly embracing open-access articles, and altmetrics data may strengthen strategic initiatives for librarians to assist faculties and university libraries with collective decision-making processes.
