Supporting data for "Engagement, socialization, and motivation in the academic peer review process among Chinese STEM doctoral students"

My thesis focuses on the engagement of PhD students in academic peer review, the resources or mentorship they draw on to navigate the review process, and their perceived motivations for participating. I interviewed 51 Chinese PhD students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) from 11 elite research universities in mainland China. Each interview lasted around 1 hour. Almost all of the interviews were conducted face to face in Chinese and were recorded. The data files include verbatim transcripts of these 51 semi-structured interviews, the interview protocols that guided the semi-structured interviews, and a readme file.
