Regional breakdowns along with breakdowns for all countries and subjects with more than 100 respondents are provided. Breakdowns have not been provided for authors from the fields of Law and Area Studies as there were fewer than 100 respondents in these areas. Please note that the robustness of the findings decreases as the number of respondents decreases. The distribution of least preferred choices does vary with subject, region and country, though CC-BY remains the most common answer in almost all cases, the exception being Library & Information Sciences, for whom the most common answer was. In terms of the most preferred licence, the largest differences can be seen in the proportions of respondents choosing -, Exclusive Licence to Publish and. Respondents from the fields of Computer Sciences and Library & Information Sciences have perhaps the most strikingly different response patterns with a more favourable view of -NC than any other subjects (not however, that there were only 111 respondents from Computer Sciences so this finding may lack robustness).
