Brave New World: Scholarly Communication After COVID

Kudos Support

What is it about?

This study, carried out between November 2020 and February 2021, provides up-to-the-minute insight drawn from two global surveys (with responses from 10,000+ researchers and 600+ librarians) and a review of over 100 announcements, articles and other relevant documents from funders, institutions and researchers.

Why is it important?

The coronavirus pandemic has both disrupted research, and acted as a catalyst for change. Publishers, societies and providers of related services urgently need intelligence and analysis to inform short-term responses and longer-term planning.

Perspectives

This major study has been accelerated to to ensure that findings are as current and applicable as possible. Some clear opportunities have emerged, both short and long term, for publishers and others in our sector to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, whether through new support and services, through greater communication and transparency, or through using the hiatus of the pandemic as a chance to change how we connect with and deliver value for customers.
