101 Innovations in Scholarly Communication Survey

Your Pendergrass librarians want to know which research tools and sites you use so that we can better support you throughout the research workflow.

Please take the 101 Innovations in Scholarly Communication survey, which was developed by Utrecht University librarians engaged in an ongoing effort to chart the evolving landscape of scholarly communication.

This survey, which takes about 10 minutes to complete, looks at how research tool usage varies by field, country, and position.

Investigators wrote a post on the Impact Blog for the London School of Economics and Political Science with more information about their work.

Bonus: If you complete the survey, you will receive a graphical visualization of your research workflow. The survey may also introduce you to new tools that will help you complete your projects.
