PhD Candidates for Social Studies of Scholarly Communication and Peer Review
Offer DescriptionDo you want to investigate how transformative developments are shaping the content of review reports? Or are you interested in how reviewers perceive academic identity and community loyalty? Then join the Institute for Science in Society (ISiS) as one of two PhD candidates!The first PhD project mainly involves a quantitative social science study of how the transformative developments affect the content of peer review reports. The study involves a scientometric and quantitative text analysis of peer review reports and their meta data, including reviewer characteristics. These analyses will assess how the tone, length, content and timeliness of review reports varies across different models of peer review. In addition, network analyses will be conducted to assess how the transformative developments shape reviewer communities and social networks.The second PhD project involves a qualitative social science study of how transformative developments in scholarly communication affect the identities and roles of reviewers. This question will be addressed through qualitative interviews with reviewers. Respondents will be asked about their perception of academic and disciplinary identity, as well as their sense of belonging to epistemic communities, and whether this generates a sense of obligation or loyalty to particular epistemic communities. The interviews subsequently examine whether and how these considerations play a role in respondents’ decisions to accept or reject review invitations. The results of the qualitative interviews will feed into a larger survey to test whether findings generalise across various contexts.RequirementsSpecific Requirements
