Survey time! The University of Greenwich and FORRT (Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training) have published a survey to explore how researchers across different disciplines and regions seek and receive feedback. https://lnkd.in/dCCBJnjN By participating, you will help them identify ways to better support marginalised and early-career researchers throughout the different stages of the research cycle. Their goal is to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to progress in academia without being limited by common issues such as privileged gatekeeping, delayed processes, and exclusion. #peerreview #earlycareer #academia #equity
