Help us to better understand authors

Help us to better understand authors Dear Indiana, Nature Publishing Group is embarking on a significant phase of work with the aim of developing our understanding of author attitudes and behaviours regarding the publication of peer-reviewed articles. As part of this project, we are contacting members of our audience and asking those who are authors for a few minutes of their time to complete a short survey. It is important that the results represent the author community as closely as possible and therefore if you are an author of peer-reviewed content, we urge you to participate. The survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete and at the end, to thank you for your time, you will be invited to enter a draw to win one of three MacBook Airs. To take part in the survey please click here. NPG values your participation in this survey and we ensure the highest standards of professional research and privacy in using the information that our audience provides. All results will be analysed in aggregate only and answers will never be associated with individual participants. Thank you for your continued support and participation. If you have any further questions about the survey itself or the on-going research programme please contact me at f.watt@nature.com. Kind Regards, Fiona Watt Market Research Project Manager Nature Publishing Group
