Welcome to the R knowledge sharing user survey.

In this study, our goal is to understand how R user support activities have been evolving over time, in the presence of different information exchange media, such as mailing lists, forums, blogs or question&answer websites.

Your participation is voluntary and confidential. If you agree to participate, you will be asked to complete self-report measures that tell us a bit about your information seeking and information providing experiences related to R. Participation in this study is expected to take about 10 minutes of your time.

This survey is conducted by a joint team of computer science researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands (Bogdan Vasilescu <b.n.vasilescu@tue.nl> and Alexander Serebrenik <a.serebrenik@tue.nl>) and University of California, Davis, USA (Vladimir Filkov <vfilkov@ucdavis.edu> and Prem Devanbu <devanbu@ucdavis.edu>).

We thank you in advance for your participation in this study. We plan to include the results of this survey in a scientific publication. Individual responses cannot be traced back to an individual respondent. However, expressing your interest to be informed about any resulting publication will require a contact email address.

If you have any additional comments, please feel free to use the text box at the end, or to contact us directly.
