Open Science Austria 2017 - SPSS Rohdaten

Open Science in Austria 2017 Based on the hypothesis that the currently heated debate on Open Science is shaped by strategic action to preserve the prevailing power relations rather than mutual understanding based on free recognition and equality, it is assumed that the respective position of power held by scientists within the scientific field, has an impact on their attitude towards an opening of science and the practical application of Open Science principles in their daily work. To test this assumption, a quantitative online survey was conducted at eight Austrian universities (n=454) to ascertain each participating scientist’s position of power within the academic field. In a second step both the attitude of the participants toward seven predefined Open Science principles as well as their active application of these principles was empirically determined and analysed with regard to any possible correlation with their position of power. *this raw SPSS file contains all 454 data sets which were used for the evaluation ** please note that incomplete questionnaires were not considered and have been deleted from this fil
