The Innovator’s Mindset.

David Lefer, Industry Professor, Director of the Innovation and Technology Forum, NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering

Executives across the world extol innovation, but few are content with their own company's ability to implement new ideas. The first step is to make oneself a more creative thinker by following a few basic rules and emulating history's greatest innovators.

Are early career researchers going to be the harbingers of change?

David Nicholas, Director, CIBER Research

Three years ago, the Publishing Research Consortium commissioned a highly unusual and ambitious study, the like of which has not been seen in the scholarly communications field.

Around 120 early career researchers (ECRs) from seven countries were in-depth interviewed annually for three-years, in order to establish whether their scholarly behaviours and attitudes were actually changing.

It was felt that this was the only way of robustly addressing that often-asked question, will the new wave of researchers (ECRs) be change agents and upset the scholarly applecart, or will they simply be yet another generation willing to toe the existing line?

The study completes in October 2018 and the paper will provide the first release of its main findings.
