Market Research - What's become... of new entrants in research workflows and scholarly communication? ('sample V2')

Market Research - What’s become... of new entrants in research workflows and scholarly communication? Full report to be published as preprint on OSF Preprints shortly. To systematically create a list of the new entrants, a range of approaches and sources were used. This resulted in a long list (see: https://zenodo.org/record/2530048#.XDnfnFxKjIV). The ‘long list’ was shortened to a sample of 120 independent for-profit startups through various filtering exercises, described in the full report. For the sample, three questions were investigated: 1. Did they still exist (independently) in 2018? 2. If so, how were they funded and how were they doing? 3. If they were acquired by 2018, by whom and when were they taken over? This file contains the ‘sample’ and answers to the research questions per 31 December 2018.
