Christophe Heger studied political science (BA) at the Freie Universität Berlin and social sciences (MA) at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. In his bachelor’s thesis, he examined the introduction of national and transnational qualification frameworks in his study “Europäisierung der beruflichen und akademischen Bildung”. His master’s thesis, “The European Working Poor, 2005-2015”, focused on the conceptualisation and empirical measurement of working poor households from a sociology of work perspective. He worked at DZHW as a student assistant from September 2017 to January 2019, on the projects “Scientists Surveys” and “Humanities, Cultural Studies, Social Sciences and Professional Practice in Graduate Education”. He has been working as a research assistant on the “Scientists Surveys” project since February 2019.

Abstract

The DZHW Scientists Survey 2023 is an online survey of full-time academic and artistic staff at German universities and equivalent institutions of higher education with the right to award doctorates. It is repeated at regular intervals as a trend study to explore the working and research conditions at German universities and equivalent institutions of higher education. The DZHW Scientists Survey 2023 was conducted from January to March 2023. The respondents therefore take a retrospective look at their working and research conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic and their current post-pandemic situation. The previous Scientists Surveys took place in 2010, 2016 and 2019/2020. [...] Full Abstract: https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:scs2023:1.0.0

Abstract

The Scientists Survey was initiated in 2010. It is intended as a long-term barometer for science. Because the 2023 edition was the fourth wave, many topics, such as attitudes and opinions on science policy for example, can be examined over time in trends analyses. Additionally, the timing of the surveys waves has enabled a particular set of research questions: while the current cohort was surveyed directly at the end of the pandemic, the preceding wave took place directly before the start of the first extensive restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This "historical coincidence" gives insights into the way researchers worked in the time before, during and after the pandemic.

How accurate are Scopus publication counts of researchers? A survey-bibliometric comparison for Germany.

Fenton, A., Donner, P., Ambrasat, J., Fabian, G., & Heger, C. (2024, September).
How accurate are Scopus publication counts of researchers? A survey-bibliometric comparison for Germany. Vortrag auf der Konferenz 28th International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators 2024 (STI), Berlin.
Abstract

The number of researchers' publications is a widely used proxy measure for scientific output, individual achievement, and performance. Despite well-known criticism from the bibliometric community, the use of bibliometric databases as a basis for measuring publication output is widespread. At the same time, there are established survey instruments that also measure the publication output per researcher. We use survey-bibliometric matching with Scopus publication records to compare the alternative publication counts. A Scopus author ID match could be found for 70 % of the respondent researchers. The number of publications per researcher varies greatly between these data sources. [...]
