Do you use or want to use electronic sensors in your field research but find data management and integration difficult? Do you want to better network with your colleagues who are collecting similar data?
We are exploring ways to improve ecological data management and sharing to enhance collaborative networking. We need your help to better understand what is currently being done by field researchers across the US, particularly by small academic labs (but also by researchers in government agencies and other institutions). If you said yes to either of the above questions, please go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ecodata and fill out the survey. Yet another survey?, you might ask... Yes, but understanding the landscape of how different labs collect, manage, and share data is becoming more important every year. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated, and results will be made publicly available after analysis. For questions or more information, please see the survey or contact Christine Laney ([email protected]).
