PhD Candidates for Social Studies of Scholarly Communication and Peer Review

4 maanden geleden


Nijmegen, Gelderland, Nederland Radboud Universiteit Voltijd

Do you want to investigate how transformative developments are shaping the content of review reports? Or are you interested in how reviewers perceive academic identity and community loyalty? Then join the Institute for Science in Society (ISiS) as one of two PhD candidates

The first PhD project mainly involves a quantitative social science study of how the transformative developments affect the content of peer review reports. The study involves a scientometric and quantitative text analysis of peer review reports and their meta data, including reviewer characteristics. These analyses will assess how the tone, length, content and timeliness of review reports varies across different models of peer review. In addition, network analyses will be conducted to assess how the transformative developments shape reviewer communities and social networks.

The second PhD project involves a qualitative social science study of how transformative developments in scholarly communication affect the identities and roles of reviewers. This question will be addressed through qualitative interviews with reviewers. Respondents will be asked about their perception of academic and disciplinary identity, as well as their sense of belonging to epistemic communities, and whether this generates a sense of obligation or loyalty to particular epistemic communities. The interviews subsequently examine whether and how these considerations play a role in respondents' decisions to accept or reject review invitations. The results of the qualitative interviews will feed into a larger survey to test whether findings generalise across various contexts.

You will dedicate 10 % of your working time to teaching activities at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Profile
  • You have a Master's degree in social science, science and technology studies, philosophy of science, or a related field, e.g. library science or data science, or will obtain this degree shortly.
  • You have affinity with either computational text and network analysis methods (PhD 1) or qualitative social science methods (PhD 2).
  • You are interested in the academic publishing system, particularly in the areas of interdisciplinarity, open science, and/or digitalisation and automation.
  • You have excellent writing and communication skills in academic English.
  • You are well-organised, have an analytical mindset, and are committed to working at the forefront of science in a dynamic, international research team.

    We are

    The Institute for Science in Society (ISiS) is embedded in The Faculty of Science (FNWI) of Radboud University. FNWI is responsible for research and teaching in physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, mathematics and computer sciences. FNWI encompasses seven research institutes, one of them being the Institute for Science in Society. Both in research and in education ISiS is actively collaborating with the other FNWI institutes. Our mission is to analyse, assess and improve the societal embedding of new developments in science and technology, through research, education and outreach; and to understand how society is shaping science and vice versa. ISiS is responsible for the MSc specialization Science in Society, accessible for MSc Science students.

    You will be part of the international research project "DISAPEER: The reconfiguration of peers in editorial review", together with scholars from the RK Merton Centre for Science Studies in Berlin. The project investigates the impact of current changes in publishing (increasing interdisciplinarity, open peer review practices, and the digital transformation) on the role of reviewers in the review process and is funded by the Volkswagen Stiftung.

    Radboud University
