[ACLA-CAAL] Research Study on Perceived Publication Pressure in Canada

[Kaitlyn Neuman]

My name is Kaitlyn Neuman, I am part of a team investigating the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived publication pressure experienced by
academics in Canada.

Our goal with this research is to identify how publication pressure differs
across groups of academics. By understanding these subtle differences, our
aim is that more targeted supports can be put in place to support
academics.

We are looking for thesis-based graduate students, postdoctoral fellows,
and principal investigators located at Canadian institutions to complete
our survey. We are looking for respondents from all disciplines, including
Health & Medical Research, Natural Sciences & Engineering, and Social
Sciences & Humanities.

We are asking interested participants to fill out one 5-minute anonymous
online survey. Further details about the procedures involved in the survey
can be found in the attached letter of information. Interested participants
can access the online survey at the following link:
https://surveys.mcmaster.ca/limesurvey/index.php/965275?lang=en

Following the completion of the survey, participants have the option of
entering a draw for one of 10 of $25 gift certificates from
GiftCertificates.ca. Draw winners will be able to select from over 70
Canadian brands to redeem their gift certificate.

If you believe graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and/or principal
investigators within Canadian Association of Applied Linguistics (CAAL)
would be interested in participating in this study, would it be possible to
share this information with your network?

This study has been reviewed by the Hamilton Integrated Research Ethics
Board (HiREB).  If you have any concerns or questions about your rights as
a participant or about the way the study is being conducted, call the
Office of the Chair, HiREB, at 905.521.2100 x 42013.

I would also be happy to answer any questions about the study or our
procedures. I am available by email at neumak4 at mcmaster.ca.

Sincerely,
