Abstract

The present quantitative study addresses Open Science practices among researchers in economics at German higher education institutions. In all, the study surveyed 300 scientists from business studies, economics, business informatics, industrial engineering and other economics-related subjects taught at universities, state and private universities of applied sciences, and other higher education institutions such as distance-learning colleges or dual colleges. The study collected information about familiarity, attitude, application, barriers, incentives and support requirements.
