Survey of academic researchers who use or wish to use technical support from staff data scientists

Danny Kingsley, the lead writer for the Big Data report, and member of the National Committee for Data in Science (NCDiS) has just flagged this data science survey with the Academy.

This survey is being run by the Academic Data Science Alliance, USA, and they’re looking for participants who collaborate or consult with data scientists. They hope the results will assist in their push for better data science policies.

The goal of the survey is to capture the contribution of staff data scientists to research capacity building in academia. For the purposes of the survey, data scientists are defined as non-faculty academic staff who use computational, statistical, and/or mathematical methods and tools to help extract knowledge from data. Please complete this survey if you are:

• A researcher in academia who interacts/collaborates with data scientists. You will be asked about your ability to access data scientists and about the nature and benefits of this interaction.
• A researcher in academia who does not currently interact/collaborate with data scientists, but is interested in using their expertise. You will be asked about your needs and about obstacles to access.
