Almost There

The surveys could not be sent out yet, :( I had to make revisions to the IRB (basically an ethics board for research done on humans) form, and that has to be approved before I can send out the surveys. Hopefully it will be approved very soon!

Also, this week I helped Ruth organize articles into a convenient Excel document. This involved a lot of reading and a lot more copy and pasting.  Ruth is working on submitting a paper so this will really come in handy when she is looking for sources and how to cite them, all the information is right there. 

I will see you all next week!

  2. How long does it normally take for a survey to be accepted for distribution?

  3. Ah....IRB. This is something that all social science researchers know well but even undergraduates don't have experience with. If this ends up being an issue, let me know and we can work with what you have done prior to survey administration.

  4. Can there actually be ethical issues with a survey?
