Now, I thought there were some different ways to look at and analyze the survey data, so I wanted to get my hands on the raw data. 1. Nothing on the website mentioned how one can get their hands on the raw data. 2. I asked a friend who I thought might know someone in the organization who did the survey. Friend put through an introduction. Organization sends me an elaborate form which I've to fill along with a research proposal before they deem me worthy of having access to their data. 3. This is not a for-profit organization. 4. Some colleagues have tried to get data from the same organization in the past, and have been given less data than they asked for because the organization did not deem it necessary (based on the research proposal) to part with more data. -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.
