20.500.12556/DiRROS-21693 Productivity, pressure, and new perspectives impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on marine early-career researchers The worldwide disruption caused by the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the activities of marine scientists working towards the goals of the UN Ocean Decade. As in other disciplines, marine early-career researchers (ECRs) are essential contributors to the development of novel and innovative science. Based on a survey of 322 of our peers, we show that the pandemic negatively impacted marine ECRs in ways that further exacerbate existing structural challenges such as social isolation, job insecurity, and short-term contracts, competitive funding, and work pressure. Furthermore, we find that the success and wellbeing of marine ECRs depends heavily on networking opportunities, gaining practical experience, collecting data, and producing publications, all of which were disrupted by the pandemic. Our analysis shows that those in the earliest stages of their careers feel most vulnerable to long-term career disadvantage as a result of the pandemic. This paper contributes to the empirical body of work about the impacts of the pandemic on marine science and offers recommendations on how marine ECRs should be supported to achieve the UN Ocean Decade’s goal of producing “the science we need for the ocean we want”. early career scientists intersectional institutional responses marine science reflexive science SARS-CoV-2 UN Ocean Decade hidrobiologija pandemija COVID-19 raziskovanje morja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-03-12 12:48:54 2025-03-12 12:48:54 2025-03-13 03:52:39 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 str. 2298-2310 Iss. 8 Vol. 79 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-10-04 574 1054-3139 10.1093/icesjms/fsac167 129175811 https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article/79/8/2298/6748269 1 faf2ec2c-ff37-11ef-88ed-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31109 RAZ_Schadeberg_Amanda_2022.pdf RAZ_Schadeberg_Amanda_2022.pdf 1 BA8F086E0C70209723DD0A81E2CEA6D8 9fbd8c17919b2098954fc366ddf4fcf605606fc14f1a856ce23369be54d33c80 67180ed8-ff38-11ef-88ed-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31110 https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsac167 0 70ee0d01-ff38-11ef-88ed-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31111 Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo 0 0 0
