Item A moderation of UTAUT model to determine academics’ adoption and use of open access publishing.(Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences, University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2018-06-30) BASHORUN, MUSEDIQ TUNJIOpen Access (OA) publishing system aims to provide free access and wide dissemination of information. Although universities in Nigeria have started to embrace OA initiatives recently, its adoptions and uses remain slow. Therefore, this paper explores factors of academics’ adoption and use through a research survey approach by gathering empirical evidence based on the adapted Unified Theory of Acceptance and the Use of Technology (UTAUT). Survey Data collected from 337 respondents was examined using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS) version19.0. The results show that awareness, attitude, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and Internet self-efficacy significantly influenced the adoption and use of OA publishing by academics in selected universities in Southwest, Nigeria. Moreover, as a result of this study a modified UTAUT model was proposed. Such a model contributes to the discussion and development of adoption model for OA publishing in Nigeria context. The significance of the study is in three-fold: theoretical, societal, and practical. The significance of the findings, recommendations and future research directions are discussed.
