The Society for Scholarly Publishing has introduced Pulse Check, a new polling program designed to gather timely and actionable insights from the scholarly communications community. Each Pulse Check poll will include five to six focused questions supported by optional demographic information to enable deeper segmentation and trend analysis.
Pulse Check aims to provide regular updates on emerging challenges, opportunities, policy impacts, and shifting priorities affecting scholarly publishing organizations. The findings are intended to support data-driven decision-making and offer a clearer view of developments across the community.
A summary of each poll’s key findings will be published in The Scholarly Kitchen, with expanded reports made available on the SSP website. The first Pulse Check centers on the role of artificial intelligence in scholarly publishing, examining current use cases, organizational preparedness, ethical considerations, and perceptions of AI’s near- and long-term impacts on research dissemination. Participants can also propose future Pulse Check topics at the end of the survey.
