Early Adopters of Open Research Output: A Study of the Motivations and Opinions of Figshare.com Users

abernard102@gmail.com 2013-09-08

Summary:

"You are invited to participate in an NSF-sponsored research study, in which the DataONE (Data Observation Network for Earth, www.dataone.org) organization is investigating how and why visitors use the figshare.com Web site. Your responses will help us better understand the motivations and preferences of researchers who have already adopted open access to research output, which will then allow DataONE to better serve the data management needs of early adopters. The questionnaire should take about 15 minutes to complete. In addition to demographic information, other questions relate to your use and opinions of the Web site, and of data sharing in general. As such, no sensitive items are included in our survey, and therefore we do not anticipate that your participation poses more than minimal risk. Also, your responses will be recorded anonymously so that no one can link your responses to you personally. Your participation in this research is voluntary, and you may decline to participate without risk. While it is useful to be complete in your responses to the survey, you may skip any questions, and you are free to withdraw from the study at any time ..."
