For industry professionals, the study results can act as a benchmark for career planning and negotiating fair compensation. Participants will understand what makes a competitive salary and benefits package in their industry and region, and they can use this information in job negotiations.
This study is a valuable resource for anyone in the scholarly publishing community. The more people participate, the more accurate and informative the results will be. We encourage individuals to complete the survey that applies to them and share the organizational survey information with the right person at their workplace. By sharing your data, you’ll help create fair, research-based compensation standards that benefit the whole industry.
Retaking the survey during each data collection period gives you access to the latest dataset, providing up-to-date insights into your professional environment. Respondents who completed the previous cycle will be able to import their data for updates.
How to Participate
As a study participant, you will receive a downloadable report comparing your responses of select data points to the aggregate responses with similar job titles (i.e., level and area) at no charge if you complete all required questions and a minimum of 60% of the survey. Additionally, you can filter the results based on the focus of your role and scope of your region. Reports are dynamically generated, so as more individuals complete the survey, more comparison data will be available.
The data collection period is currently closed. Reports for 2024 and 2025 data are available now.
Premium Access Subscription
