Contemporary global research cultures: results from a global survey about research conditions.
Article in F1000Research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The global research and higher education landscape has expanded enormously within the last 30 years. Bibliometric data reveal the increase in knowledge production, co-authorship patterns and collaborations. There are, however, only limited data that allow for comparing the research conditions among the different regions in the world that cover different disciplines and status groups. Existing surveys on research conditions are restricted to specific groups of countries, mainly in the global north. Method: Against this background, we present the results of a global survey on research conditions, conducted in partnership with the platform ResearchGate. The study draws data from more than 5,000 researchers from around the world. The study addressed key dimensions of professional environment: individual resources, perceived research conditions, work satisfaction. and network embeddedness. The survey data were enriched with other secondary data on the country level, namely, V-Dem data base as well as data on economic performance (GNI per capita). Results: The results reveal significant regional disparities in funding, infrastructure, and time for research and teaching, with academics in the Global North reporting greater satisfaction and more time for research compared to their counterparts in the Global South. Academics in autocratic regimes report satisfaction with their infrastructure, although external funding remains limited. The findings demonstrate the diversity of research conditions in the organizational settings, career incentives, and institutional conditions. These findings complement bibliometric data showing rapid publication growth in autocratic countries and a tendency towards international collaboration and highlight the diversity and complexity of global research cultures, contributing to a richer understanding of epistemic diversity.
