The DimenChain market research survey

We put one question to the global scientific community about how research collaboration actually works today. The responses are gathered here for public view.

The question we asked

What is the shared pain point in current global research collaboration workflows?

How researchers find new collaborators today

Question 2 of the survey: “How do you typically find and connect with new collaborators for your research projects?” Personal networks account for more than the other three routes combined.

  1. Personal networks and referrals 53.6%
  2. Institutional or university resources 28.6%
  3. Online research platforms 14.3%
  4. A combination of these 3.6%

n = 28 respondents. Percentages are of total responses and sum to 100.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our respondents — members of the global scientific community — who contributed to this survey. We have gathered and analysed the results and are sharing them here for public view.

The DimenChain team is encouraged by the collaboration and sustained support reflected in the responses. That collective effort continues to shape a platform built to address these shared challenges.
