Which lists are you using for this?  I can forward it to SPSSX- and to LARIA if you want.  I'm sure SRA, MRS, RSS and others would be interested.

Survey: Virtual Research Environment Collaborative Landscape Study

With apologies for cross-posting.

We invite you to participate in an online survey on on-line research
collaboration in Virtual Research Environments (VREs). The focus of our
study is to scope developments in VREs around the world, across all
disciplines.

The study aims to stimulate debate about the benefits of research
collaboration facilitated by Virtual Research Environments so as to assist
the UK Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) to provide services and
strategies to support it.


What is a VRE?

"...a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) is an an online framework of
collaborative tools and resources that allow researchers to share and re-use
data, combine services, and undertake tasks to promote new collaborative
research practices...."

If you are a user, manager, information specialist, developer, or provide
support for VREs, your input would be most welcome. Answering the questions
will take about 20 minutes - your input and experiences will help others to
develop and support a better on-line infrastructure for research!

The project is being undertaken by the Centre for e-Research at King's
College London and the Oxford e-Research Centre at the University of Oxford.
