Context

Recommendation feeds are already found in the likes of GoogleScholarTM and ResearchGateTM. However, given the popularization of these tools, it is worth considering their impact on research and researchers. Surprisingly, very little is known about the impact of these tools on academic performance, productivity or well-being of their users. Are academics that use reference management tools more productive? Are they happier? A literature search yields very few results. [12] evaluated ethical conflicts of interest found in Google Scholar algorithms; [13] compared the existing tools; [14] investigated how ResearchGate metrics can be used to infer the performance of a researcher. However, none considers the well-being of researchers.

Content

Data of the survey was collected from 2020-07-09 to 2020-09- 28. The data was generated by emailing authors who had authored or co-authored at least one paper in a popular preprint server service in the past 3 years (Arxiv)[15]. In total, 2286 responses were collected. The survey consisted of 10 questions.

Acknowledgements
