Results of Eurodoc survey on Open Science and scholarly publishing focused on early career researchers | Eurodoc

In March 2021, the European Commission launched 'Open Research Europe' (ORE), an Open Access Publishing Platform for Horizon 2020 beneficiaries to support the Open Science (OS) practices, starting with Open Access publications. In 2020, Eurodoc, as an expert partner in the ORE project, conducted a survey on publishing in Open Science focused on early career researchers (ECRs) to formulate recommendations for ORE.

This survey sought to gain new perspectives on OS knowledge and motivation for its adoption amongst researchers, using a range of different dimensions relevant to demographics and background. An international team of volunteers analysed and summarised the survey results, which were published in Open Access on 22 December 2021, as a preprint on the F1000 Research platform together with the accompanying dataset.
