3 Overview The Duke University implementation of the Ithaka S+R Faculty Survey was launched on September 9, 2015, and was closed to new responses on October 13, 2015, with a total of 260 complete responses. The questionnaire covers topics in several key areas, including: how faculty members discover and access materials for research; faculty members usage of scholarly communication services; faculty members research practices, including data preservation and management behaviors and needs; faculty members perceptions of students research skills; the role of the library in supporting faculty members needs; the role and value of various types of materials for research and teaching; and faculty members impressions and usage of library support services. The following report provides a high-level overview of findings from the Duke University faculty survey. 1 Details 989 Duke University faculty members received an invitation to participate in a survey about faculty research habits. One $75 Amazon gift card was offered as an incentive for participation. Three reminders were sent before the close of the survey. In total, 343 respondents clicked the survey link (about 35% of those who received the invitation), with 334 of those starting the survey (about 34%) and 260 of those respondents completing the survey, for an overall response rate of about 26%. Due to the survey flow and skip patterns, not all Duke University faculty respondents received every question in the survey. 2 How to interpret the findings For each question in the Duke University survey, this document provides a single graph and table of overall responses. Title pages provide information about survey flow and contingent items, which signify that a question was only presented to those who satisfied a condition in their response to another question. If you have any questions about this report or working with the raw data provided, please contact Christine Wolff, Ithaka S+R Survey Administrator, at Christine.Wolff@ithaka.org. 1 This report covers results from completed surveys and does not include an overview of partially completed responses. Partially completed responses are included in the spreadsheet of raw data. 2 Furthermore, two out of the three additional modules (Material Types and Formats, Scholarly Communication, and Market Research) were displayed to each faculty member respondent; the Core National Questionnaire was displayed to all respondents.
