What 6,000 researchers think about the future of science
"The research landscape is influenced by a complex interplay of institutional, structural, and cultural factors, which can hinder researchers from achieving their full potential."
"The survey results indicate that leading researchers have diverse opinions on what constitutes research impact, reflecting a broader conversation about the value of scientific work."
A researcher's success is shaped by various factors including personal interests, funding conditions, and societal attitudes. A survey of over 6,000 authors published in high-quality journals reveals insights into how leading scientists perceive the research landscape. The survey highlights significant variations in views on research impact, both academically and in broader societal contexts. Researchers expressed desires for changes that could enhance their ability to achieve future breakthroughs, indicating a gap between their perceptions and the current research trends.
