Abstract

The keyword for the future of academic profession studies is complementarity. Insights from surveys, whether large- or small-scale, differ fundamentally from those from interviews—but together, they can advance the field both theoretically and empirically. Big data should therefore complement surveys and interviews, while macro-level analyses should accompany micro-level studies.
