Abstract
This paper discusses the central assumptions as well as the organisation of studies into scholarly communication as seen through the eyes of early career researchers, which have been conducted for several years in eight countries, i.e. the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Malaysia, China, Russia and Poland. The research projects carried out between 2016 and 2022 (funded by Publishing Research Consortium, CIBER Research Ltd. and Sloan Fundation) involved conducting longitudinal interviews with scholars representing the fields of engineering and technology, medical and health sciences, science and life sciences, as well as social sciences. On the other hand, 2023 (National Science Centre project no. 2022/45/B/HS2/00041) saw the introduction of interviews with Polish early career researchers from previously unanalysed fields, namely the humanities, theological sciences and the fields of arts.Keywords:
