Dear All,FQS exits since 1999. The number of users continues to increase steadily (currently more than 7,800 colleagues worldwide receive our monthly newsletter) and it is time to learn a little more about you as users of FQS. We would like to know who reads FQS, who publishes in FQS, how far FQS fulfils the needs of its users and what ideas and suggestions you might have about the further development of FQS.
The questionnaire is available at http://www.unipark.de/uc/fqs_evaluation/eng/, and answering all questions will take about 20 to 30 minutes.
The results of the survey will be included in a thesis concerning the relevance of open-access journals in the social sciences, using FQS as an example. Of course, all responses will be kept strictly confidential, analysed anonymously, and not be given to any third party. For questions concerning the evaluation, please contact Lisa Koch (e-mail: fqs-evaluation@qualitative-research.net).
Thank you very much for your participation!
