Membership Survey of Learned Societies 2022

The survey studied the members of learned societies and researchers working in Finland. The data were collected by the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies (TSV) with the aim of obtaining information on the members of Finnish and international learned societies. First, the respondents' membership of Finnish learned societies, their motivations for holding membership (e.g. advancing research, professional development, networking/being a part of community), and the societies' events they had participated in were examined. Those who were not members of Finnish learned societies were asked about their reasons for not joining. Membership of international learned societies and reasons for not joining international learned societies were also surveyed. Additionally, attitudes towards the role of learned societies in Finland and the importance of science for Finnish society were investigated. The next set of questions focused on scholarly journals. The respondents were asked how often they read articles from scholarly journals and what their preferred format for reading scholarly journals was. The purposes for which the respondents read articles from both national and international peer reviewed journals were charted, and the respondents were also asked about the value placed on peer reviewed journals in their own field as a publishing forum. Background variables included, the respondent's age (categorised), gender, region of residence (NUTS2), whether the R was a Finnish citizen, educational background, highest education level achieved, field of education, and type of organization worked at.

本调研针对芬兰境内的学术学会会员及在职科研人员展开。本次数据集由芬兰学术学会联合会（Federation of Finnish Learned Societies, TSV）采集，旨在获取芬兰国内及国际学术学会的会员相关信息。首先，调研对受访者的芬兰学术学会会员身份、入会动机（例如推动科研发展、职业能力提升、社交联络/融入学术社群）以及参与学会活动的情况进行了考察；针对未加入芬兰学术学会的受访者，调研询问了其未入会的原因。国际学术学会会员身份及未加入国际学会的原因调研也纳入了本次范围。此外，调研还探究了受访者对芬兰学术学会职能的态度，以及科学对芬兰社会的重要性认知。下一模块的问题聚焦于学术期刊：调研询问了受访者阅读学术期刊论文的频率，以及偏好的期刊阅读格式。调研同时梳理了受访者阅读国内及国际同行评议期刊论文的目的，并询问了其所在领域内，同行评议期刊作为学术发表平台的价值认可度。本次调研纳入的背景变量包括：受访者的年龄（已分类）、性别、居住地区（NUTS2）、是否为芬兰公民、教育背景、最高学历、所学专业领域，以及就职单位类型。
