General
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 questions.socsci.ru.nl/admin with your university number/email address and password to make a survey.
There is no limit on 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 (your can include a full feature movie). Scripting inside the surveys is allowed. You can alter LimeSurvey behavior and include complicated stimuli in the survey.
Support
If you are a faculty member at the Faculty of Social Sciences and need help using LimeSurvey, please contact limesurvey.fsw@ru.nl. Users themselves are responsible for the creation and design of their surveys, as well as the data analysis. For technical support, contact our administrator(s). TSG can also offer assistance adding functionality if existing functionality is insufficient for your needs.
Tutorial
There is a Limesurvey beginner tutorial for use of Limesurvey on the Radboud University Faculty of Social Sciences.
Callaboration
To work with multiple people on the same survey, follow the instructions on our Collaboration page.
Template
questions.socsci.ru.nl uses an unobtrusive Radboud-branded template called radboud. It is be applied by default. If you want to use a different template, ask the administrator to activate additional templates for you and go to:
Survey properties -> General settings -> Presentation & navigation -> Template -> Radboud -> Save
Publishing
Invitations to surveys can be send with a direct link to the survey (e.g. https://questions.socsci.ru.nl/index.php/123456?lang=en) or by referring to the main survey page questions.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.
Sona integration
If you want to use Sona to invite people to take your survey, please follow the 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 manual provided by LimeSurvery. Please make sure to test whether it works with a pilot run.
Similar integrations are possible with Prolific, Mechanical Turk and other panel systems.
Data Storage
Surveys and collected data are stored on campus. The server is not to be used for long term data storage. Please us the survey expiration data to indicate when you stop collecting data. Surveys and data may be removed after a year without prior warning.
