Survey to help identify whether Octopus might help researchers produce high quality, open research In order to complement in-depth, but necessarily small sample size, interviews, an online survey allowed us to reach a broader population to gain some quantitative data on the current research culture and barriers to best practice, as well as whether the Octopus platform might help overcome them. The finalised survey was implemented on EUSurvey. It is a fully open source online survey platform developed and administered by the European Commission, adhering to relevant privacy regulations (e.g. the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)). The survey was open from 17 January to 5 February 2023. Details on the implementation of this survey is published on Octopus.
