The Society for Scholarly Publishing seeks to better understand the challenges and needs of early career individuals in the scholarly communication field. Early career professionals (with ten years or less of experience in the industry) are invited to participate in this study by completing a brief survey about their needs and preferences.
The survey was developed by SSP's Early Career Task Force and Professional Development Committee. Early career professionals do not need to be a member of SSP to participate in the survey. The goals of the study are to better understand the current needs of those just starting out in the industry, to survey the resources that are beneficial in understanding the field, as well as to develop a plan of how SSP can better prepare early career members for fulfilling careers.
Participants will be asked to provide information about their education and work experiences, career objectives and interests, challenges faced, training and development preferences, and professional development resources they find to be the most helpful. Interested professionals can participate by visiting: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SSP_PR.
Results of the survey will be summarized and presented at the 2016 SSP Annual Meeting in Vancouver and will be used as a resource for new initiatives for the SSP Board and committees.
The survey will remain open until March 1, 2016. Participants will be entered in to a drawing to receive a $50 Amazon gift card!
