Willingness to share ideas that could turn into a paper Is there any research/study/survey that looked at researchers' willingness to publicly share ideas that could potentially turn into a paper?
I don't think that somebody should expect people here on Acedemia.SE to perform literature search for them (regardless of their motivation for a question), hence the feedback you've received so far. Having said that, I have briefly looked at the topic and have selected the following references that might be of your interest. The caveats are as follows: 1) the references below are intended to be used mainly not as primary sources, but as containers of more relevant references; 2) scope of the studies referenced below ranges from some specific context to more general knowledge sharing;
