CEL/TEZA: W artykule omówiono wybrane wyniki międzynarodowego projektu badawczego „Harbingers”, których celem jest prognoza zmian w komunikacji naukowej na podstawie analizy postaw i zachowań współczesnych młodych pracowników naukowych. Uwagę skupiono w szczególności na wynikach uzyskanych w badaniach przeprowadzonych na grupie polskich respondentów, porównując je z wynikami uzyskanymi dla całej międzynarodowej grupy badawczej. KONCEPCJA/METODY BADAŃ: Projekt „Harbingers” obejmuje badania prowadzone w siedmiu krajach w latach 2016–2018 metodą pogłębionych wywiadów indywidualnych z wykorzystaniem znormalizowanego kwestionariusza. Dodatkowo na zgromadzonych danych szczegółowych prowadzone są analizy statystyczne. W pierwszym etapie badań udział wzięło 116 młodych naukowców, w tym 10 z Uniwersytetu Warmińsko-Mazurskiego w Olsztynie. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI: Większość respondentów z badanych krajów zwracała uwagę na przeciążenie obowiązkami zawodowymi, wysokie wymagania oraz niepewne warunki pracy. Widoczne było ich skupienie na finalnej części pracy naukowej, a mianowicie publikowaniu jak największej liczby artykułów w najbardziej prestiżowych czasopismach. Nie stwierdzono znaczących różnic w zachowaniach i postawach związanych z komunikacją naukową uczestniczących w badaniach polskich młodych naukowców, w stosunku do zachowań i postaw młodych badaczy z innych krajów. ORYGINALNOŚĆ/WARTOŚĆ POZNAWCZA: Prowadzone badania są pierwszymi na świecie długookresowymi studiami związanymi ze zmianami w systemie komunikacji naukowej wśród młodych pracowników nauki.

PURPOSE/THESIS: The aim of this study is to identify the changes in scholarly communication based on the analysis of attitudes and behaviors of junior researchers. APPROACH/METHODS: The study is being conducted in seven countries over a three-year period from 2016 to 2018 using a deep interview method. During the first year of the study, 116 early-career researchers have participated, including 10 participants from the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Poland. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The majority of respondents from all countries have drawn attention to the fact that they were overwhelmed with their professional duties and unstable work environment. Their focus on publishing papers in highly-ranked journals was noticeable. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: It was first longitudinal and international study on changes in the scholarly communication among junior researchers.
