[Apologies for any duplicate mailings]
The Oxford Internet Institute (OII), in collaboration with the UK's National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS), would like to invite you to take part in a short (20 minute) survey. The survey focuses on the role of information and communication technologies such as the Internet in social research.
The survey is designed to be completed whether or not you use digital particular tools as it is a means to gain an understanding of the centrality of a variety of tools to social research. The findings will be useful in directing future capacity building for the social and economic sciences.
Even if you aren't currently using research tools, we encourage you to complete the survey. The survey will be even shorter in this case, as it will skip a number of the questions based on your answers.
