<p>Innovations in scholarly communication - data of the global 2015-2016 survey.</p>
<p>This data set contains:</p>
<ul>
<li>Full raw (anonymized) and cleaned data files of the 2015-2016 global Survey on Innovations in Scholarly Communication. Data are in xls format (raw and cleaned) and csv format (only for cleaned data as the raw data contain non-Roman script).</li>
<li>Survey questionnaires for 7 languages (zipped PDFs)</li>
<li>Variable list (xls)</li>
<li>Readme file (txt)</li>
</ul>
<p>The data files contain >3,000,000 cells, and thus cannot be opened in their entirety in Google Drive.</p>
<p>Many new websites and online tools have come into existence to support<br />
scholarly communication in all phases of the research workflow. To what extent<br />
researchers are using these and more traditional tools has been largely<br />
unknown. This 2015-2016 survey aimed to fill that gap. Its results may help<br />
decision making by stakeholders supporting researchers and may also help<br />
researchers wishing to reflect on their own online workflows. In addition,<br />
information on tools usage can inform studies of changing research workflows.<br />
The online survey employed an open, non-probability sample. A largely<br />
self-selected group of 20663 researchers, librarians, editors, publishers and<br />
other groups involved in research took the survey, which was available in seven<br />
languages. The survey was open from May 10, 2015 to February 10, 2016. It<br />
captured information on tool usage for 17 research activities, stance towards<br />
open access and open science, and expectations of the most important<br />
development in scholarly communication. Respondents’ demographics<br />
included research roles, country of affiliation, research discipline and year of<br />
first publication.</p>
