<x-tab> </x-tab>If someone
named Allessanbdro were in charge, a study, <br>
such as Zoe's, never would happen, Clearly, from the reactions <br>
on the email lists, a gender topic is very threatening to a number <br>
of members.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>I still
feel we are much better off with independent research.<br>
An internal research organization won't ask hard questions. That's <br>
why most large organizations--businesses, government, etc.--if they <br>
want to know what's really going on, bring in outside, independent <br>
researchers.<br><br>

Do we want to set up or partner with someone as a partner, <br>
as is the fashionable way these days, our own base survey?<br>
To do it properly it would need some planning. Alessandro <br>
might have some ideas or contacts. Note to Alessandro this <br>
is very preliminary at the moment.<br>
As background to the OpenStreetMap mailing group I first <br>
posted this on HOT and the message is below. We had two <br>
researchers doing very similar questions and neither were <br>
getting the number of responses they would like.<br>
Statistics Canada likes to recycle or reuse survey data were <br>
possible, its cheaper than running yet another survey for a start.<br>
The implications need thinking through.<br><br>
So thoughts?<br><br>

<dd>Hi John, <br><br>
<dd>Makes a lot of sense to me. We could possible make a kind of code of
conduct for survey researching the OSM community. That could very well be
part of a project Frank, Peter and I are launching:Â

<dd>I think it would be really helpful if we set up a survey engine under
the wings of the OSMF. That would make it easier to re-use surveys and
share experiences and data between researchers. Also we could include a
review proces before launching the questionaire, so e.g. questions can be
internationalized (even if this is not a priority for the researcher
themselves).<br><br>

<dd>At Statistics Canada they have a concept of respondent burden.Â
Basically it means you try to limit the number of questions you ask
people whilst still trying to get the answers in. Is this
information available from another survey?<br><br>
<dd>May I suggest a more formal arrangement where a survey is organised
say every three / six months and researchers submit their questions to be
included in the survey? This is done for a number of surveys at
Statistics Canada and is a useful way to include one or two additional /
supplementary questions to a survey.<br><br>
<dd>The advantage to the people running the studies is hopefully a wider
set of respondents making their surveys more statistically valid.Â
The advantage to the mappers are fewer messages in the mailing lists and
fewer surveys asking to be completed.<br><br>
<dd>At the very least I'm sure Zoe and Laura could see if the data from
their surveys could feed the other.<br><br>
<dd>There are other things that could be done such as random sampling
then following up with the randomly selected sample this reduces self
selection.<br><br>
<dd>Thoughts?<br><br>
<dd>Thanks John<br><br>
