Interviewees and mapping of interview questions to areas of Innovation Diffusion Theory

This submission includes two files complementing the F1000Research article "Preprints and Scholarly Communication: Adoption, Practices, Drivers and Barriers" - https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.19619.1

The table 'Extended data' shows how interview questions for our study were built based on the features of information diffusion theory (IDT) (Rogers, 2003). It should be noted that not all interview questions were asked to all stakeholder groups based on appropriateness and time available. Some questions in the table may appear to be repeated: this is because slightly different phrasing was used based on the stakeholder interviewed.
