Swiss-Wide Open Science Survey

Open science is often presented as a technical matter (e.g., data repositories and licensing) or just another hurdle in the publishing process. For academic mid-level staff in the current academic system, it’s increasingly something else: a shift in who sets the rules for how our work is evaluated, funded, and recognized.

It often feels too late to completely adapt our approaches to new standards, yet we are not in a position to set those standards. Our voices as academic mid-level staff are crucial in determining how open science practices should be taught, used, and implemented.

We, actionuni, are running a national survey to understand how the implementation of open science policies are actually being felt by mid-level staff, whether you’ve been using open science practices or doing your best to avoid them.

This anonymous survey takes about 15 minutes and is available in English, German, French, and Italian. Results will be shared publicly and used to push for better policies and training  adapted to the needs of academic mid-level staff, across institutions.

We thank you sincerely for contributing your voice to this important initiative! Please share this survey with your colleagues based in Switzerland.
