Quality aspects of academic publishers: NRW-wide survey until February 14th, 2025
The Landesinitiative openaccess.nrw is conducting a survey to find out more about academics' views on the quality assurance of publishers (and journals) and their choice of publication venues. This questionnaire is aimed at professors, habilitation candidates, post-doctoral researchers, doctoral students and research assistants.
This questionnaire can be completed with reference to one of the following scientific publishers: Elsevier, MDPI, Springer Nature, Wiley, Frontiers, Taylor and Francis, De Gruyter.
The anonymous survey takes 2–15 minutes, depending on your individual points of contact with the specific publisher. The survey can be completed for one publisher only. It is possible to participate several times in the survey, in order to evaluate the quality aspects of more than one publisher.
The survey is open until February 14th, 2025:
