Descriptive survey reveals open access utilization improves research visibility in Nigerian universities, suggesting stronger user engagement is needed.

Key Points

The research aims to explore the role of academic libraries in promoting open access and enhancing research visibility in Nigerian universities.
Descriptive-survey design targeting 255 academic staff in Oyo State, Nigeria.
Data collected through a structured questionnaire on open access promotion and research visibility.
Data analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression with SPSS.
Utilization of open access platforms significantly influences research visibility (β = 0.428, p < 0.001).
Open access promotion alone does not significantly affect visibility (β = 0.035, p > 0.05).
Combined open access variables explain 18% of the variance in research visibility (R² = 0.186, p < 0.001).
