Description: Results of research conducted between 2007 and 2010. In the  interest of developing a deeper understanding of how and why scholars do what they do  to advance their academic fields, as well as their careers, our approach focused on fine grained  analyses of faculty values and behaviors throughout the scholarly communication  lifecycle, including career advancement, sharing, collaborating, informal and formal  publishing, resource generation, and engaging with the public. The report is based on the  responses of 160 interviewees across 45, mostly elite, research institutions in seven  selected academic fields: archaeology, astrophysics, biology, economics, history, music,  and political science. We concentrated on assessing scholars' attitudes and needs as both  producers and users of research results.
