Values in Scientific Work (VSW)

The Values in Scientific Work (VSW) is a 35-item measure that assesses the level of importance scientists attach to different intrinsic, extrinsic, and social values that motivate the work of scientists. During VSW development, items were factor analyzed, meaning that items which measure a similar construct are clustered together in the same factor. The VSW is comprised of eight factors: 1) autonomy, 2) research ethics, 3) social impact, 4) income, 5) collaboration, 6) innovation and growth, 7) conserving relationships, and 8) job security
