The core of research consisted of structured interviews with 160 faculty, administrators, librarians, and publishers across more than 45 "elite" research institutions largely in North America (and some in Western Europe), in over 12 disciplines. These interviews covered a variety of topics including tenure and promotion, sharing and publication, collaboration, data and resource use, and public engagement. Individuals were chosen through convenience sampling and a quota-informed system of snowball sampling to ensure that the informant pool represented a diversity of career stage and experience. The project resulted in multiple publications, offering comprehensive descriptions and analyses across much of the scholarly communication spectrum, including an in-depth investigation of peer review. These publications are available at The Future of Scholarly Communication. See http://cshe.berkeley. edu/research/scholarlycommunication/index.htm.
