Dear Douglas
Congratulations on a job well-done! I have browsed through your findings and I don’t have much to add. Here are a few suggestions, but these are not compulsory to integrate though: · Instead of survey, indicate it was an *online *survey. This will indicate that you have taken into account the online research ethics involved in approaching and dealing with your respondents. · “The majority of editors are based in only two provinces.” I agree with your response relating to the ‘first language’ issue. I think this question is a problem in many “[research] contexts” of South Africa. I mean: Should participants indicate their ‘home language’ (spoken at home), of their school attended, or the languages used in the workplace (‘language of wider communication’)? To be fair, think if 40% of your population indicated that they speak English as a L1, just integrate it as that. Otherwise, good job! All the best!
