Sustainable considerations for researchers who conduct their research mostly from a desk.
You are considered a desk-based researcher if most of your work is conducted at a desk, whether in an office or elsewhere. Your research may involve quantitative, qualitative, or both types of data. Common activities include extensive computer use for reviewing academic literature, writing proposals, or sharing findings. Depending on your field, your tasks may range from analysing primary sources, interpreting texts, collecting data through surveys, interviews or focus groups, to inputting and analysing data sets.
