Abstract
JUNQUEIRA, Luís; DELICADO, Ana; REGO, Raquel and CONCEICAO, Cristina Palma. Participation in associations by scientific researchers in Portugal. Sociologia [online]. 2014, vol.27, pp.67-88. ISSN 0872-3419.
Association membership in Portugal is generally low, despite the high number of associations. This article examines the practices and motivations for belonging to associations in a particular group, researchers. Based on a questionnaire survey on their participation in national and international or foreign scientific associations, issues such as memberships, motivations profiles and engagement in the associations’ life are explored. Variations by sociodemographic characteristics are also analysed
Keywords : associations; researchers; motivations; participation.
