The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) introduced “the second wave of [its] global Compensation and Benefits Benchmarking Study, which aims to collect comprehensive data on wages, compensation, benefits, policies, and skills from professionals in scholarly communications and the organizations that employ them.” Key insights from last year’s study include the following:- 95% of individual respondents are employed full-time; 62% have the ability to work fully remotely
- 98% hold a bachelor’s degree or higher; 33% have a master’s degree, and 24% have PhDs
- 71% live in North America (68% in the US); 27% live in Europe and Central Asia (20% in the UK); 2% live in East Asia and the Pacific. Interestingly, the US (65%) and the UK (17%) are the most frequent headquarters for their employers.
SSP notes, “Data collection is open now through March 31, 2026, with reports available beginning February 2026. Participants are encouraged to submit their surveys by December 31, 2025, to ensure timely findings that can guide decisions in the coming year.” Individuals and organizations can visit SSP’s Resources section to learn how to participate.
