研究称朝九晚五的工作不是学术生活的方式

澳大利亚昆士兰科技大学Adrian Barnett团队研究称,朝九晚五的工作不是学术生活的方式。2019年12月19日,国际知名学术期刊《英国医学杂志》发表了这一成果。

为了确定研究人员是否在下班后才向BMJ投稿和同行评审,以及这是否会随时间而改变,研究组对2012-2019年间BMJ在线投稿系统中的提交稿件和同行评审进行了观察研究,共收到49000余份投稿和76000余份同行评审。而随着时间的推移,在周末或节假日投稿或同行评审的平均概率并没有发生变化。

非工作时间的投稿和同行评审较多,其中周末工作的平均概率为0.14-0.18,节假日工作的平均概率为0.08-0.13。不同国家之间存在着明显和一贯的差异。中国的研究人员通常在周末和半夜工作,而斯堪的纳维亚的研究人员则很有可能在工作日和中午提交稿件或审稿意见。

总之,随着时间的推移,各国之间的差异仍持续存在,这表明“加班文化”名副其实。

Title: Working 9 to 5, not the way to make an academic living: observational analysis of manuscript and peer review submissions over time

Abstract: 

Objective To determine whether researchers are submitting manuscripts and peer reviews to BMJ journals out of hours and whether this has changed over time.

Design Observational study of research manuscripts and peer reviews submitted between 2012 and 2019 for which an author’s address could be geocoded.

Setting Online BMJ submission systems for two large general medical journals.

Main outcome measures Manuscript and peer review submissions on weekends, on national holidays, and by hour of day (to determine early mornings and late nights). Logistic regression was used to estimate the probability of manuscript and peer review submissions on weekends or holidays.

Results The analyses included more than 49 000 manuscript submissions and 76 000 peer reviews. Little change over time was seen in the average probability of manuscript or peer review submissions occurring on weekends or holidays. The levels of out of hours work were high, with average probabilities of 0.14 to 0.18 for work on the weekends and 0.08 to 0.13 for work on holidays compared with days in the same week. Clear and consistent differences were seen between countries. Chinese researchers most often worked at weekends and at midnight, whereas researchers in Scandinavian countries were among the most likely to submit during the week and the middle of the day.

Conclusion The differences between countries that are persistent over time show that a “culture of overwork” is a literal thing, not just a figure of speech.
