Academic study of knowledge sharing in R

[Alexander Serebrenik]

Dear all,

A group of researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) and UC Davis (USA) is conducting a study of support activities in R. In this study, our goal is to understand how R user support activities have been evolving over time, in the presence of different information exchange media, such as mailing lists, forums, blogs or question&answer websites. 

I would like to invite you to answer our survey: http://ow.ly/ndTZ7 and eventually participate in a longer mail/skype interview.

Your participation is voluntary and confidential. If you agree to participate, you will be asked to complete self-report measures that tell us a bit about your information seeking and information providing experiences related to R. Survey participation is expected to take about 10 minutes of your time.

We thank you in advance for your participation in this study. We plan to include the results of this survey in a scientific publication. Individual responses cannot be traced back to an individual respondent.

Thanks in advance,

Alexander Serebrenik
