<div dir="ltr">Hi Andres and thanks for your support. I'm all for Open Access publishing and when the time comes will endeavour to do this. Will keep the community posted on this as well as the results.

I am sure other openData projects would be interested in your results. I've done the survey, literally takes 30 seconds or less,just as I like them. But you don't mention if your results will be published under a free culture licence. I have been a scientist during some time and I am now frustrated that some of my publications are behind a paywall. It would be great if your data is shared under a compatible licence with OSM?</div><div><div class="h5"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On Mon, 2017-09-04 at 11:38 +0100, Zoe Gardner wrote:</div></div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div class="h5"><br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><font color="#000000">Dear OSM talk-gb subscriber</font></span></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><span id="m_-2885406069492924704m_-2749768686127641143OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><span><div><div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><span id="m_-2885406069492924704m_-2749768686127641143OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><span><div><div lang="EN-GB" vlink="#954F72" link="#0563C1"><div class="m_-2885406069492924704m_-2749768686127641143WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000"><u></u></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000"><u></u> <u></u></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color:white">I am a Research Fellow in the Nottingham Geospatial Institute at the University of Nottingham, interested in participation biases in geospatial crowdsourced projects such as OSM and other Volunteered Geographical
Information (VGI) projects. </span><span>My current research project is concerned with the way in which participation biases in OSM may potentially affect the usability of the data that is collected and subsequently what is available
to location based service providers which use OSM as their primary geospatial database.</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000">The project is motivated by recent research that has found a strong male bias in OSM participation. This has led to assertions that various geospatial knowledge could be under represented or poorly recorded on the map. However, the actual
consequences of this bias remain little explored or reported. By collecting information about contributors to OSM, which can then be analyzed along with their editing patterns, the impacts of this bias might begin to be measured and therefore better understood.
<span>I have therefore published an online survey designed to collect information directly from OSM editors and
</span>I would like to invite as many of you as possible to participate. The survey is anonymous and takes a couple of minutes to complete.
