The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) is excited to announce the launch of our Compensation and Benefits Benchmarking Study. This annual global study will gather comprehensive data on wages, compensation, benefits, policies, and skills from professionals in scholarly communications and the organizations that employ them. The survey results will be hosted on SSP’s new Insights Platform.
The study includes two distinct surveys: one for individuals and one for organizations. Data collection will happen from late 2024 to early 2025, with reports available beginning January 2025.
Participation Benefits
Both individuals and organizations that complete at least 60% of the survey (including all required questions) will receive an executive summary of the aggregate data at no cost.
- For Individuals: Participating in the study allows professionals to benchmark their compensation and benefits, helping with career planning and salary negotiations. The data offers valuable insights into competitive salaries, benefits, and the skills required across various roles and regions within the industry.
- For Organizations: Organizations will gain insights into compensation and benefits trends, helping them stay competitive. This data supports evidence-based decisions on salary adjustments, benefits enhancements, and strategic workforce planning. Human resources professionals or those with access to organizational compensation data are the ideal participants for the survey.
Confidentiality and Data Security
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the Benchmarking Study. All data is aggregated and anonymized, ensuring no proprietary information is linked to any individual or organization. SSP maintains sole control over the study’s production and distribution, safeguarding the data’s integrity.
