Kudos Releases Report on COVID-19's Impact on Scholarly Communication
Kudos published “Brave New World: Scholarly Information After COVID,” a study that gives publishers, societies, and other publishing stakeholders data and insights about how COVID-19 has affected scholarly communication. It also provides coverage of emerging opportunities and recommendations for strategic and tactical responses.Findings include information on “the extent of budget cuts within institutions and libraries, such as which content types are most likely to be affected, how cancellation decisions will be made, what actions on the part of publishers are most likely to protect subscriptions, and how Open Access strategies and budgets will be affected.” In addition, the report offers “useful data around submissions, turnaround times, and preprints. More broadly, there are results and recommendations around researchers’ attendance at events. …” The study’s contents come from combined surveys of more than 10,000 researchers and more than 600 librarians, as well as a review of 100-plus announcements, reports, articles, and other materials from funders, universities, libraries, and researchers.
