Changes in research practices (trend analyses)
This final chapter examines the extent to which research practices have changed since the first survey of the Berlin Science Survey in 2022 (Lüdtke, Ambrasat 2022). This concerns the three topics of open research (Lüdtke et al. 2023a), research collaborations (Lüdtke et al. 2023b), and knowledge transfer (Lüdtke et al. 2024). The BUA has developed a range of activities in these areas to shape the Berlin research area. To save space in the survey, respondents were randomly assigned only two of the three topics, which reduces the sample size by one third for these analyses. Since the research practices examined were already implemented at a high level in 2022 and the interval of two years is quite short for cultural change, no substantial changes were expected here.
