LimeSurvey is a popular open source system for making and publishing surveys. All students and staff of the Faculty of Social Sciences can use it.  
  
 
Log on to [https://survey.socsci.ru.nl/index.php/admin survey.socsci.ru.nl/admin] with your university number and password to make a survey. Invitations to surveys can be send with a direct link to the survey (e.g. ''[https://survey.socsci.ru.nl/index.php/148355 https://survey.socsci.ru.nl/index.php/148355?lang=en]'') or by referring to the main survey page ''[http://survey.socsci.ru.nl survey.socsci.ru.nl]''. Note that in the latter case the participant has to find the survey in a list. By default surveys are not listed on the main page. Change this in the ''survey settings'' if you wish. The preferred way is using direct links.

LimeSurvey is a popular open source system for making and publishing surveys. All students and staff of the Faculty of Social Sciences can use it.

Log on to survey.socsci.ru.nl/admin with your university number and password to make a survey. Invitations to surveys can be send with a direct link to the survey (e.g. https://survey.socsci.ru.nl/index.php/148355?lang=en) or by referring to the main survey page survey.socsci.ru.nl. Note that in the latter case the participant has to find the survey in a list. By default surveys are not listed on the main page. Change this in the survey settings if you wish. The preferred way is using direct links.

There is no limit on the number of surveys that you can make or the number of participants in a survey.
