Hello Barbaros,
It sounds like a good idea to try and ask people to engage with a survey if you
will be seeing them at an event. And Survey Monkey offers a simple interface
and some automated analysis.
But the questions to ask will be determined by what you want to find out.
What is your main research question? Do you want to find out what they think
about open access? How much they engage with open access? What they see as the
barriers to open access? What they see as the benefits of open access? These
are all different question areas.
Are you intending to compare the situation in Turkey to elsewhere in the world?
If so you might want to look at a comparable published article and look at the
questionnaire used. If you ask similar questions you are then in a position to
compare the results.
You might also want to think about your analysis technique. If you ask
questions that people answer in response to a statement on a scale of (for
example) Never through to All the time you are able to analyse these in a
way that you could not analyse free text answers to a question.
So determine the type of survey you want to ask (in terms of future analysis),
determine the main question you want answered and then you are in a position to
work out the wording of your questions.
I hope that helps and all the best.

Subject: [GOAL] Hello from Istanbul, Turkey (about a questionnaire on open
access concept in Turkey)
Greetings,
I am a newbie volunteering to work about open access spirit and desiring to
raise awareness in Turkish academic community. I have a simple question to you
advanced people; I will attend a forum about open access movement in Turkey,
and I would like to prepare a questionnaire intended for chemists and chemical
engineers in Turkey.
My question is very simple: Please send me sample questions which will be asked
in the questionnaire. I am willing to finish collecting data on October 13, and
the activity will commence on 21 October (due to a religious feast, it is
almost impossible to collect data after October 13.
The audience will be academicians, say, faculty members and assistants and
academic people working as chemists or chemical engineers. I wanted to limit
the occupation to these and the people working in Istanbul, Turkey.
I am planning to prepare the questionnaire on Survey Monkey website? Is it a
good plan?
Many thanks for your replies.
Best,
Mr. Barbaros Akkurt, PhD
