Dear participant,

 

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey on editorial publication behavior in academic journals across disciplines. As a journal editor you assume a central and impactful role in shaping the scientific discourse and academic values in your discipline. A goal of this study is to compare different publication patterns across four disciplines: business & management, chemistry, economics, and medicine. Your answers will provide a vital contribution to the success of our study. 

The questionnaire is short, only 27 questions, and should take about 10 minutes to complete. There are no right or wrong answers, so please respond spontaneously to all questions and statements from an editor's perspective.

This survey is part of a joint research project, hosted at Hamburg University and Zeppelin University Friedrichshafen. It is generously funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (Grant No. 01PY13014).

We respect your privacy and we guarantee complete confidentiality. Our research interest is in the average responses of the entire group of participants. Data will be reported only in the aggregate and no individual will be identified in any way in written reports of this research. Data are used for scientific purposes only and will be not passed on to third parties.

 

Thank you very much for participating in this survey!
