This study explored knowledge sharing practices in Polish informal scholarly communication. The informal channels of communication include discussion, conversation, information exchange in both forms: face to face and via information and communication technologies. The study was carried out among the Polish academic community using a structured online questionnaire, which contained 88 questions (closed and partly open). Respondents consisted of academics: PhD, PhD with Habilitation, and Professors, employed in several types of universities and academia located throughout the country. A total of 1558 academics responded to the survey, representing all academic disciplines –humanities, social sciences, technical and life sciences. The Polish academic community created rather homogenous networks, generally limited to their own disciplines. The favourite platform to share knowledge was unofficial talks during conferences and seminars. The preferable form of knowledge sharing practices was face to face talks, despite the development of modern information and communication technologies. The biggest barrier to knowledge sharing was the lack of time for free conversations. The most important motivator could be the interest of colleagues. Polish researchers commonly used only electronic mail and rarely used social media and blogs to share knowledge. This is the first national survey about knowledge sharing practices in Polish academic environment.

波兰学者之间非正式学术交流中的知识共享实践

本研究探讨了波兰非正式学术交流中的知识共享实践。非正式的沟通渠道包括讨论、对话和两种形式的信息交流：面对面和通过信息和通信技术。该研究是在波兰学术界使用结构化的在线问卷进行的，其中包含 88 个问题（封闭式和部分开放式）。受访者由学者组成：PhD、PhD 和教授，受雇于全国多所类型的大学和学术机构。共有 1558 名学者对调查做出了回应，代表了所有学科——人文科学、社会科学、技术和生命科学。波兰学术界创建了相当同质的网络，通常仅限于他们自己的学科。最喜欢的分享知识的平台是会议和研讨会期间的非正式会谈。尽管现代信息和通信技术得到了发展，但知识共享实践的最佳形式是面对面的谈话。知识共享的最大障碍是缺乏自由对话的时间。最重要的动力可能是同事的兴趣。波兰研究人员通常只使用电子邮件，很少使用社交媒体和博客来分享知识。这是关于波兰学术环境中知识共享实践的第一次全国调查。知识共享的最大障碍是缺乏自由对话的时间。最重要的动力可能是同事的兴趣。波兰研究人员通常只使用电子邮件，很少使用社交媒体和博客来分享知识。这是关于波兰学术环境中知识共享实践的第一次全国调查。知识共享的最大障碍是缺乏自由对话的时间。最重要的动力可能是同事的兴趣。波兰研究人员通常只使用电子邮件，很少使用社交媒体和博客来分享知识。这是关于波兰学术环境中知识共享实践的第一次全国调查。
