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 an open-source platform for making and publishing surveys. The Faculty of Social Sciences has its own Limesurvey server which all of its students and staff can use. Log on to [https://survey.socsci.ru.nl/admin survey.socsci.ru.nl/admin] with your university number/email address and password to create a survey.
 
There is no limit to the number of surveys that you can make, or the number of participants in a survey. There is also no limit to the media content of the survey (e.g. you can include a feature-length movie). Scripting inside the surveys is allowed (with Javascript), enabling you to change the survey behaviour and include complicated stimuli in the survey.
 
=Usage=
== Login ==
Logging into our LimeSurvey server is done through SURFconext / Single Sign-On (SSO). The first time you log in, you will be asked to authenticate using your Radboud University credentials. After that, you can use your Radboud credentials to log in to LimeSurvey whenever needed.
 
== Editor version==
Limesurvey v7 offers two editor versions: ''New'' and ''Classic''. You can switch between them by clicking on your name/u-number on the home page and selecting "Editor Version".
 
*The ''Classic'' version offers a bit more control over the question and answer logic, and will be familiar to those who have used Limesurvey before.
*The ''New'' version has a more WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) style interface, which makes creating and reordering questions a lot easier.
 
⚠️Theme options are currently not working correctly in the New Editor. Please DO NOT make changes to the settings here.

If you want to use Sona to invite people to take your survey, please follow the [http://www.sona-systems.com/help/limesurvey.aspx manual provided bij Sona]. Furthermore, if this participant ID should be stored in LimeSurvey such that it is possible to link a response to a participant ID, then you would also have to follow the instructions in the [https://manual.limesurvey.org/Panel_integration manual provided by LimeSurvery]. Please make sure to test whether it works with a [https://tsgdoc.socsci.ru.nl/index.php/Online_experiment_systems#Pilot_Run pilot run].


== Data Storage ==
Similar integrations are possible with Prolific, Mechanical Turk and other panel systems.
Surveys and collected data are stored on campus. The server is not to be used for long term data storage. Surveys and data will be removed after a year without prior warning.


== Support ==

The TSG only provides limited technical support for Limesurvey. Users themselves are responsible for the creation and design of their surveys, as well as the data analysis. For questions about the use of Limesurvey, please consult the [http://manual.limesurvey.org/ manual] or the [http://www.limesurvey.org/en/community-services community support].  
If you have made a survey on the old Limesurvey server, you can still access it and your collected data on [https://questions.socsci.ru.nl/admin questions.socsci.ru.nl]. <br/>
For technical support, contact [https://organisatiegids.ru.nl/tabProfiel.aspx?isEngels=true&RBSID=636916 Chi Lieu] (system administrator) or [https://organisatiegids.ru.nl/tabProfiel.aspx?isEngels=true&RBSID=102747 Eric Lieffers] (server administrator).
Active surveys will continue to work as-is.
