9 Searching Research Contents
10 Research Article / Images / Datasets
A researcher reads > 300 articles per year 11 3.7 Hrs spent SEARCHING for articles per week Researchers spend an average 10 hours per week searching for and reading articles 5.6 Hrs spent READING articles per week.of which, 3.5 hours is spent searching for research articles and 5.5 hours reading. Researchers in Chemistry and Life Science spend longer than average searching for articles and chemists spend longer reading Younger researchers spend > 4hrs a week searching. Researchers from China spend longer searching (six hours) and reading (nine hours) articles than any other country. n=4,225 A researcher typically reads six articles per week. Chemists read nine per week. Mathematicians read four articles per week. China-based researchers read one more than average per week (7 articles). After searching and reading for 10 hrs per week only 42% of the papers read are considered important. 42% regarded as important 6 articles read per week
Researchers identify a clear difference between the content found in books vs. journal articles Books and journal articles provide different types of content, but for this reason they are fundamentally interlinked: researchers need both to build their knowledge around a topic. 12 BOOK CONTENT Breadth Connecting Disciplines ARTICLE CONTENT Depth in Growing Disciplines Fundamental knowledge Comprehensive Learning tool Wide angle New topic or recapping old areas Specialised knowledge Specific focus Extreme depth Latest research / new results Applying techniques
13 Uses of Elsevier ebooks and Journals Journals Primary research Journal Articles Latest Advances Summary of journal articles on a topic Journal Review Articles Highly cited publications offering indepth explorations of developments in a field Serials Latest Advances Books Complete, advanced and detailed descriptions providing depth in subject areas ebooks Deepen knowledge Compendiums of information / data sets for field or techniques, providing quick answers on the job Methods & Pedagogical examination or didactic presentation of key subject area concepts and methods Textbooks Processes Fundamentals Comprehensive, foundational introduction to a discipline; encyclopedias Major Reference Works Definitions Relevance of information over time Books are the knowledge repository from which we learn.
