Abstract

The Scientists Survey was initiated in 2010. It is intended as a long-term barometer for science. Because the 2023 edition was the fourth wave, many topics, such as attitudes and opinions on science policy for example, can be examined over time in trends analyses. Additionally, the timing of the surveys waves has enabled a particular set of research questions: while the current cohort was surveyed directly at the end of the pandemic, the preceding wave took place directly before the start of the first extensive restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This "historical coincidence" gives insights into the way researchers worked in the time before, during and after the pandemic.

WGTDISTRIM: Stata module to trim extreme sampling weights (version 1.0.0) [Stata-ado].

Lang, S., & Klein, D. (2023).
WGTDISTRIM: Stata module to trim extreme sampling weights (version 1.0.0) [Stata-ado]. Hannover: Github.
Abstract

wgtdistrim trims extreme sampling weights using the weight distribution approach suggested by Potter (1990). The reciprocal of the sampling weights are assumed to follow a (scaled) beta distribution. The parameters of the beta distribution are estimated from the sampling weights and the trimming levels (cut-offs) are computed for the specified percentiles. Sampling weights that are more extreme than the specified percentiles are trimmed to these percentiles and the excess is distributed equally among the untrimmed sampling weights so that the sum of the trimmed sampling weights equals the sum of the untrimmed sampling weights. This process is repeated a specified number of times (or until the trimmed sampling weights do no longer change).

Synthesis report on gender differences in grant application behaviour.

Synthesis report on gender differences in grant application behaviour. Berlin: DZHW.
Abstract

This deliverable provides a summary of the findings of Work Package 7 of the GRANteD project. The results are based on seven online surveys carried out among researchers in six European countries. In Austria, Ireland, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden, applicants to specific research funding programs were surveyed. In Germany, a representative survey was conducted among academics as potential applicants at universities (DZHW Scientist Survey). In addition, the data of doctoral graduates of the DZHW PhD panel were analyzed. The overall findings indicates that there are hardly any gender differences in application behavior of academics.

Forty and over the academic hill? Biological and academic age and the race for tenure.

Ordemann, J., & Naegele, L. (2023).
Forty and over the academic hill? Biological and academic age and the race for tenure. Online first: SocArXiv.
Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between age and attaining a tenured position in academia (postdoctoral researcher or professorship at a university of applied sciences or university). Following considerations about ageism towards doctoral graduates who were 40 years and older (40+) upon attaining a PhD and Robert K. Merton’s idea of cumulative advantages in academic careers (Matthew-Effect), we differentiate between biological and academic age. We test the relationships and the resources accumulated behind the latter using data from the DZHW PhD Panel 2014. Applying piecewise constant exponential estimations and an entropy balancing, we find that PhDs aged 40+ experience a significantly positive effect on attaining a professorship.

Absolventenbefragung 2017. Daten- und Methodenbericht zur Erhebung der Absolvent*innenkohorte 2017.

Absolventenbefragung 2017. Daten- und Methodenbericht zur Erhebung der Absolvent*innenkohorte 2017. Hannover: FDZ-DZHW.
Abstract

The 2017 graduate survey is conducted in the context of the DZHW graduate study series, which uses standardized surveys to collect information on the studies, career entry, career path and further qualification of university graduates. The first graduate panel was conducted in 1989, and since then every fourth cohort of graduates has been surveyed. The 2017 graduate survey is the first collaborative project in the context of the DZHW graduate study series. The joint partners DZHW, INCHER, and ISTAT aim to take into account the interests of different user groups as comprehensively as possible.

Abstract

The report on the cumulative data set for the 10th-21st Social Survey (1982 - 2016) explains the data preparation process and describes the variables in the data set. The survey series has a unique regional scope, is based on large, random samples, and is thus a powerful source of data for studies of the aspects covered over time. It allows a differentiated examination of students with various characteristics, such as by type of university, university entrance, subject groups, gender, age groups, educational and regional origins, financial situation, living arrangements, partnership status, and parenthood.

Abstract

The report is part of the data package "The Social Profile in the Promotion of the Gifted 2008". The scientific use file contains information on a total of 9,540 recipients of support from the eleven organizations for the promotion of the gifted that existed in Germany in 2008 - including 7,947 recipients of support for studies and 1,593 recipients of support for doctoral studies. In addition to specific questions on the promotion of the gifted, the questionnaire was based on the 18th Social Survey (2006). This allows direct comparison with the population or different student groups, especially on topics such as sociodemographic characteristics, social origin, [...] Full abstract: https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:gif2008:1.0.0

Abstract

The project Determinants and Effects of Collaboration in homogeneous and heterogeneous Research Clusters (DEKiF) focuses on the potential of university and entrepreneurial collaboration in the form of linked resources, personalities, competencies, and exchanged experiences as well as perspectives. Apart from these positive effects, the mixed methods study further highlights the increasing challenges that collaborating companies and universities have to face. The explorative case study of homogenous and heterogenous research cooperation investigated if the theoretical and previously elicted problems, solutions, [...] Full abstract: https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:decquant:1.0.0

Eurostudent VII.

Daniel, A., Buck, D., & Wallis, M. (2023).
Eurostudent VII. Daten- und Methodenbericht SUF Version 3.0.0. Hannover: DZHW.
Abstract

The EUROSTUDENT project collects and analyses comparable data on the social dimension of European higher education. A wide range of topics related to students’ social and economic conditions are covered. The project strives to provide reliable and insightful cross-country comparisons. It does this through coupling a central coordination approach with a strong network of national partners in each participating country. In this way, an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the respective national frameworks in international comparison can be made. [...] Full abstract: https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:es7:3.1.0
