As promised, the Q-Sort survey for attitudes to data sharing within the archaeological community, is now ready and on-line.
I've written a handy user guide, it's well worth a quick look, as it's unlikely to take more than three minutes to read.
This link will take you to the survey.
Why am I doing this, who am I etc?
I'm only asking for your e-mail address in the survey, in addition to recording how the tiles are placed by you.
Here's a reminder what the Q-Sort survey looks like:-

I’m a 2nd year Computer Science PhD. student at the University of Manchester researching attitudes to data sharing within the archaeological community with a view to developing tools for integrating and sharing archaeological data. To this end, having conducted semi-structured interviews, I have developed an on-line survey to identify issues that are acting as barriers to data sharing within the archaeological community.
It is in effect a form of requirements analysis, but with a focus on non-functional requirements, such as governance, ownership of data etc. as opposed to functional requirements, i.e. formats for capturing data, scope of a proposed system etc. Hence I have adopted Q-Methodology for the survey, which is a ‘subjective’ or qualitative survey technique the results of are then examined quantitatively, by means of statistical analysis.
