Learned publishing Vol. 33, № 3. P. 197-210Abstract: This article describes an international study informed by a 3-year-long
qualitative longitudinal project, which sought to discover the scholarly
communication attitudes and behaviour of early career researchers (ECRs).
Using a combination of small-scale interviews and a larger-scale survey,
ECRs were questioned on their searching and reading behaviour, publishing
practices, open data, and their use of social media. Questionnaire invitations
were sent out via publisher lists, social media networks, university
research networks, and specialist ECR membership organizations. Onethousand
and six-hundred responses were received, with many coming
from China, Russia, and Poland. Results showed that ECRs are adopting
millennial-facing tools/platforms, with Google, Google Scholar, social
media, and smartphones becoming embedded in their scholarly activities.
Open data sharing obtains widespread support but somewhat less practice.
There are some differences in attitudes and behaviour according to
age and subject specialism.
