摘要为了通过促进学术界开放获取和免费开源软件和硬件的传播来加速科学进步，本研究调查了加拿大的大学教授，以确定他们是否愿意接受开源（OS）赋予的讲座教授职位。为了获得这样一个开源的捐赠椅子，除了在他们的领域表现出卓越，教授还需要同意确保他们所有的写作都是通过开放获取分发的，并在公共领域或操作系统许可下发布他们所有的智力贡献。这项研究的结果显示，81.1%的加拿大教师受访者愿意接受OS赋予教授职位的条款。此外，34.4%的教师不需要额外的补偿。赞成传统奖励的受访者被证明非常赞成接受资金，这将有助于研究（28%的研究生助理，以减少教师的负担或46.7%的自由裁量权，最常见的反应）。这些结果表明，在加拿大，有广泛的共享情绪，有利于学术界之间的知识共享，开源捐赠教授职位将是一种有效的方式来催化增加共享的研究，特别是加拿大学术界的利益。
Abstract To accelerate scientific progress by advancing the spread of open access and free and open source software and hardware in academia, this study surveyed university professors in Canada to determine their willingness accept open source (OS) endowed chair professorships. To obtain such an open source endowed chair, in addition to demonstrated excellence in their field, professor would need to agree to ensuring all of their writing is distributed via open access and releasing all of their intellectual contributions in the public domain or under OS licenses. Results of this study show 81.1% Canadian faculty respondents would be willing to accept the terms of an OS endowed professorship. Further, 34.4% of these faculty would require no additional compensation. Respondents that favor traditional rewards for endowed chairs were shown to greatly favor receiving funds that would help benefit research (28% for graduate assistants to reduce faculty load or 46.7% for a discretionary budget-the most common response). These results show that, in Canada, there is widespread shared sentiment in favor of knowledge sharing among academics and that open source endowed professorships would be an effective way to catalyze increased sharing for the benefit of research in general and Canadian academia in particular.
