DZHW Scientists Survey 2023

The DZHW Scientists Survey 2023 is an online survey of full-time academic and artistic staff at German universities and equivalent institutions of higher education with the right to award doctorates. It is repeated at regular intervals as a trend study to explore the working and research conditions at German universities and equivalent institutions of higher education.
The DZHW Scientists Survey 2023 was conducted from January to March 2023. The respondents therefore take a retrospective look at their working and research conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic and their current post-pandemic situation. The previous Scientists Surveys took place in 2010, 2016 and 2019/2020.
The DZHW Scientists Survey is designed as a multi-topic survey. Each survey consists of a core questionnaire with central questions, many of which have already been asked in one or more previous Scientists Surveys, as well as advanced modules with questions on focus topics.
The core questionnaire contains the following thematic blocks: “Key data on scientific biography”, “Research and working conditions”, “Research funding”, “Publication behavior and knowledge transfer”, “Science policy topics and attitudes” and “Demography”. Within these thematic blocks, the topics “Continuing education courses in higher education didactics”, “Considerations on leaving academia” and “Research during the Corona pandemic” were included in the DZHW Scientists Survey 2023 for the first time.
The focus topics in the advanced modules of the DZHW Scientists Survey 2023 were “Research Information/Digital Infrastructures/Informational Self-Determination”, “Digital Scholarly Communication”, “Science Mobility”, “Research Funding”, “Trust within Science”, “Tenure Track and Researcher Independence” as well as “Peer Review and Lotteries in Research Funding”. The data on the advanced modules are currently still subject to an embargo period.

2023年度DZHW科学家调查是一项针对德国大学及其同等高等教育机构具有博士学位授予权的专职学术和艺术工作人员的在线调查。该调查定期进行，作为一种趋势研究，旨在探究德国大学及其同等高等教育机构的工作和研究条件。2023年度的DZHW科学家调查于2023年1月至3月进行。受访者因此回顾了他们在新冠病毒大流行期间的工作和研究条件以及当前的后疫情状况。之前的科学家调查分别在2010年、2016年和2019/2020年进行。DZHW科学家调查设计为多主题调查。每个调查包括一个核心问卷，其中包含中心问题，其中许多问题已在之前的科学家调查中提出，以及针对焦点主题的高级模块。核心问卷包含以下主题块：‘科学传记关键数据’、‘研究和工作条件’、‘研究资金’、‘出版行为和知识转移’、‘科学政策议题和态度’以及‘人口统计学’。在这些主题块中，DZHW科学家调查2023年首次纳入了‘高等教育教学继续教育课程’、‘离开学术界的考虑’以及‘新冠病毒大流行期间的研究’等主题。DZHW科学家调查2023年高级模块的焦点主题包括‘研究信息/数字基础设施/信息自决’、‘数字学术交流’、‘科学流动性’、‘研究资金’、‘科学界内的信任’、‘终身教职和研究者独立性’以及‘研究资金中的同行评审和抽签’。高级模块的数据目前仍处于保密期。
