  12. Drivers of collaboration and competition Competition Collaboration • Funding • Personal allegiances • Ideological, social and political forces • Publish or perish • Low-cost communication and travel • Personal gain Funding Personal antipathies Ideological, social and political forces Publish or perish Drive for individual recognition Personal gain

  16. Why scientists don’t share Total Chemistry Computer Science Earth & Env Sciences Engineering Life Sciences Materials Science Maths Medicine & Allied Health Physics & Astronomy SocSci + Arts Hum + Economics Author Reader dichotomy more want access than are willing to share

  17. Scientists seek recognition for their work There is one character trait . . . which is an intrinsic part of a scientist’s culture, and which the public image doesn’t often include: his extreme egocentricity, expressed chiefly in his overmastering desire for recognition by his peers. No other recognition matters. And that recognition comes in only one way. It doesn’t really matter who you are or whom you know. You may not even know those other scientists personally, but they know you—through your publications.

  18. Why scientists don’t share Geneticists' Reasons for Withholding Post publication Information, Data, or Materials. Respondents who considered these motivating factors very important or important.
