| Abstract: | Aerospace scientists and engineers of 16
selected aerospace organizations of Bangalore
were surveyed during May 2008 to February 2009. Analysis of 583 responses from
650 distributed questionnaires (89.7 percent) revealed that reading e-journals
saved time and helped scientists and engineers to gain more scientific
knowledge, resolved technical problems, resulted in faster completion of tasks,
helped in becoming more organized in archiving papers, helped in obtaining
information related to specific experimental processes, helped in exchanging
(received, distributed) more journal articles with colleagues, etc. ANOVA
(Analysis of Variance) was applied for testing the significant difference among
the 16 mean scores obtained from the scientists and engineers of the aerospace
organizations about their ‘strong perceptions about e-journal access.’ It was
observed that all the 16 organizations show a significant difference (P <
0.05) in their mean scores. |
