Do you use Google Drive or Word? Mendeley or Endnote? Google Scholar or Scopus? Open access or traditional journals? ResearchGate or repositories?

New tools are constantly being developed, as reflected in the list of 400+ scholarly communication tools (http://bit.ly/innoscholcomm-list).

Help us understand your current workflows and the tools you use for scholarly and research activities at University of Edinburgh by completing this survey, created by researchers at the University of Utrecht. The survey is aimed at anyone carrying out research (from Master’s students to professors), or supporting research (such as librarians, publishers and funders).

The survey is easy and fun to fill it out by just clicking the tools you use. It takes 8-12 minutes to complete and you can opt to receive a visual characterization of your workflow compared to that of your peer group

The survey will run until February 2016.
