  • Perceived benefits of open data are improving but scientists still lack resources, skills, and rewards

    Open AccessJoshua Borycz, Robert Olendorf et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2023

    Addressing global scientific challenges requires the widespread sharing of consistent and trustworthy research data. Identifying the factors that influence widespread data sharing will help us understand the limitations and potential leverage points. We used two well-known theoretical frameworks, the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Technology Acceptance Model, to analyze three DataONE surveys published in 2011, 2015, and 2020. These surveys ai…

  • Never mind predatory publishers… what about ‘grey’ publishers

    Open AccessDiana Nicholas, Eti Herman et al.ARTICLEEl Profesional de la Informacion2023

    The Harbingers project, which studied the working lives and scholarly communication behaviour of early career researchers (ECRs) over 6 years, found evidence of changing attitudes to questionable (grey) publishing. Thus, whilst predatory publishers have come to be treated with equanimity, as a problem easily dealt with, there was growing concern with the high volume of low-grade research being generated, some of which by ‘grey’ open access publis…

  • Pandemic Impact on Early Career Researchers in the United States

    Open AccessDaniel Sims, Diana Nicholas et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2023

    This study’s research aim is to discover how the COVID-19 pandemic impacts early career researchers’ work lives, prospects, and scholarly communication behavior. Early career researchers (ECRs), including doctoral students, post-docs, and pre-tenure faculty, are the next generation of scientists, researchers, scholars, teachers, and academic leaders, and are considered “vulnerable” when compared to their more senior colleagues. Part of an eight-c…

  • Peer review

    Open AccessDiana Nicholas, Eti Herman et al.ARTICLEEl Profesional de la Informacion2023References: 1

    Explores science and social science early career researchers’ (ECRs) perceptions and experiences of peer review, seeking also to identify their views of any pandemic-associated changes that have taken place. Data are drawn from the Harbingers-2 project, which investigated the impact of the pandemic on scholarly communications. Peer review, one of the activities covered, is singled out as it proved to be the activity of greatest concern to ECRs. F…

  • Early career researchers and predatory journals during the Covid-19 pandemic. An international analysis

    Open AccessDiana Nicholas, Blanca Rodríguez Bravo et al.ARTICLEEl Profesional de la Informacion2023Cited by: 1

    Around 170 early career researchers (ECRs) from 8 countries were interviewed about the whole range of their scholarly communication attitudes/behaviours during pandemic times and this paper analyses what they said about predatory journals in a wide range of scholarly communication contexts. Because of the delicacy of the topic there was just one question exclusively directed at predatory journals, which asked about policies rather than actions, w…

  • Early career researchers in the pandemic-fashioned ‘new scholarly normality’

    Open AccessDiana Nicholas, Eti Herman et al.ARTICLEEl Profesional de la Informacion2022References: 3

    After two-years of repeat interviewing around 170 early career science/social science researchers from China, France, Malaysia, Poland, Russia, Spain, UK and US about their work life and scholarly communications in pandemic-times, the Harbingers project is now in possession of a mountain of data on what constitutes a very important academic topic. The purpose of the paper is to share the early highlights of the data, with a focus on the main and …

  • Early career researchers in the pandemic-fashioned ‘new scholarly normality’

    Open AccessDiana Nicholas, Eti Herman et al.ARTICLEEl Profesional de la Informacion2022

    After two-years of talking to around 170 early career science/social science researchers from China, France, Malaysia, Poland, Russia, Spain, UK and US about their work life and scholarly communications during the pandemic, the Harbingers-2 project is in possession of a mountain of verbatim data. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the kinds of comments ECRs are raising, with a focus on those that provide a particular interesting and illumi…

  • The impact of the pandemic on early career researchers

    Open AccessEti Herman, Diana Nicholas et al.ARTICLEEl Profesional de la Informacion2021Cited by: 2References: 5

    In order to take account of the impact of the pandemic on the already changing scholarly communications and work-life of early career researchers (ECRs), the 4-year long Harbingers study was extended for another two years. As a precursor to the study (featuring interviews and a questionnaire survey), currently underway, an analytic review of the pertinent literature was undertaken and its results are presented here. The review focuses on the chal…

  • Data Sharing by Scientists

    Open AccessCarol Tenopir, Suzanne Allard et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2011

    BACKGROUND: Scientific research in the 21st century is more data intensive and collaborative than in the past. It is important to study the data practices of researchers--data accessibility, discovery, re-use, preservation and, particularly, data sharing. Data sharing is a valuable part of the scientific method allowing for verification of results and extending research from prior results. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: A total of 1329 scientist…
