Rarely in the history of science, technology and medicine
have we witnessed such rapid and profound change.
Advances in technology, funding pressures, political
uncertainty, population shifts, societal challenges on
a global scale; these elements are all combining – in
uncertain ways – to transform how research information
is created and exchanged.
The ability of the research community to thrive in this new
world will depend on understanding the opportunities
and the challenges these changes offer and what steps
need to be taken now.
To assess how today’s trends might shape the research
landscape in the decade ahead, Elsevier joined forces
with Ipsos MORI, the global market and opinion
research specialist. Together, we conducted a large-scale,
future-scoping and scenario-planning study. The focus
of this study was not which topics will be researched during the 2020s, but rather how that research might be
conducted and its findings communicated.
