Description

“Science in the Digital Age: Exploring Online Behaviors of Researchers” is a new report from BioInformatics that investigates where scientists are naturally gravitating online using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Surveying over 545 science researchers, this report describes their personal and professional online habits. You’ll discover which websites, social media platforms, and influencers are popular among researchers and the level of trust scientists have in these resources. This report offers data-backed insights to inform channel and messaging strategies.

This NEW report outlines current online habits of researchers and will focus on the following objectives:
  • Investigate where scientists are naturally gravitating online and understand how often they go online for both job/career-related topics and personal use.
  • What online newsletters do scientists subscribe to? What other online media (including non-science related channels) do they consume?
  • How are scientists deciding where to go online? What are the purposes behind scientists accessing specific scientific social media or career-based sites?
  • Which science related forums are people accessing? How did they learn about these?
  • What topics are they investigating online (science and non-science related)? Where would they trust finding this information?
  • Investigate who key online influencers are that scientists follow and through what channels to they consume that media. Understand how did they hear about those influencers in the first place?
BioInformatics designed an online quantitative survey with accompanying qualitative interviews to address the objectives.

The survey this report was based on was fielded to n=545 respondents and n=7 one-on-one interviews, members of the Science Advisory Board (SAB) — a segment of the scientific community with a demonstrated willingness to participate in market research activities.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
