Web-based data collection: an update Web-based data collection: an update Toon Taris, Paul Schreurs & Kees Jan Sepmeijer, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 18, June 2005, nr. 3, pp. 181-195 The rapid increase in the number of internet users has given web-based surveys the potential to become a powerful tool in survey research. The present study discusses the pros and cons of this technique for gathering data. Pros include speed, cost effectiveness and exclusion of interviewer and data entry errors; cons include low response rates, selective response, and possible problems with data quality. As an illustration we present the results of a study among well over 45,000 Dutch home care employees, showing that men, higher educated and younger employees were more likely to respond through the internet than others. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that whereas the factor structures of selected work-related concepts were similar for respondents who used the internet vs. other respondents, their average scores differed strongly. Implications of these findings on data collection practices in social, work and organizational psychology are discussed.

One distinguishing factor of individuals is their lifestyles. In the internet, every individual shows a different behavior while some groups have rather similar behaviors. By identifying these groups and their interests and preferences, it becomes possible to offer a product or advertising which is compatible with their wants. This leads to conveying the value presented by the producer to the consumer with high effectiveness. One source of identifying target customers or internet users is their lifestyle in internet space. The present study aims at describing and explaining internet lifestyle (e-lifestyle) of Iranian users. In particular, this study tries to find out the most common e-lifestyle of Iranian users. To this aim, 412 students involved with internet were surveyed. After estimating the construct validity of the study through confirmatory factor analysis, the mean scores of each e-lifestyle were compared by student t-test. The results revealed that Iranian users have mostly entertainment-driven e-lifestyles. The perceived importance-driven, sociability-driven, interest-driven, novelty-driven, need-driven, and uninterested or concern-driven e-lifestyles were respectively identified after that. This is the first study investigating the most common e-lifestyle among Internet users.

ABSTRACT The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Sanctuaries Hazardous Incident Emergency Logistics Database System (SHIELDS) is an Internet-based information system designed to improve access to critical data, plans, and tools for National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) personnel and their partners for contingency planning and response situations. At the core of the SHIELDS project is a website developed for each of the thirteen National Marine Sanctuaries and one coral reef ecosystem reserve in the sanctuary designation process. Each site hosts general planning and response information, such as policies and contingency plans. More so, SHIELDS takes advantage of leading information technology to improve the availability of vital response information and folds it into one comprehensive website. The use of Geographic Information System (GIS) data has expanded from static hardcopy maps to web-based interactive mapping, allowing Internet users to easily examine Sanctuary-specific geographic data from any location. SHIELDS offers NOAA modeling tools to analyze the fate of pollutants and live buoy data for real-time oceanographic conditions. Web-based databases within SHIELDS allow the user to enter or query information on personnel contact and location, potential Sanctuary threats, geographic response plans (GRPs) and Resources and UnderSea Threats (RUST) data, post updated incident text and documentation, or look up response glossary terms. Although SHIELDS relies extensively on the use of the Internet to distribute its information, it has also been designed to work as a stand-alone product for those inevitable circumstances when Internet access is not available during a response. The user can load the SHIELDS webpages and data onto their personal computer and carry it to any remote location to access the same data found on the Internet. SHIELDS provides the most comprehensive incident planning and response information for the National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP). This ensures that NOAA fulfills its role as stewards of Sanctuary resources and provides effective and timely response information about their trust resources.

Use Of The Internet

Psycholinguists grapple with an ever-increasing list of control variables, in addition to any that are of theoretical interest. Some variables are subjective constructs like familiarity, concreteness, and semantic or affective connotations. Historically researchers approached these by having participants come to a laboratory and provide ratings for each stimulus, but the use of the Internet in data collection has increased in recent years and is likely to continue doing so. In the context of stimulus norms, the equivalence of lab-based and Internet methodologies has not been extensively examined. We discuss some of the pros and cons of online stimulus norming and touch on several issues to consider. We also highlight some important differences between norms obtained online and those obtained in-person.

BACKGROUND Determining antimicrobial utilization patterns in hospitals can be a challenge given personnel and resource constraints with paper based systems. A web–based application (APP) was developed in South Africa to address this, building on a recent pilot point prevalence survey (PPS) using a paper-based system. OBJECTIVE The study aim was to test and refine the develop app as well as to evaluate its ease of use and potential time saving versus paper based methods. METHODS The developed app was tested in a large academic public hospital in a PPS in South Africa. During data collection phase, the app was evaluated for functionality on all 35 variables and subsequently refined. After the data collection, the app was evaluated in terms of its time saving potential and ease of use. RESULTS 181 patient’s files were surveyed across 13 wards in the hospital, with the findings similar to the paper-based study. The median age for males was 45.5 years and the median age for females was 42 years. Overall 80 out of 181 (44%) patients received antibiotics. Whilst 38% (12 out of 31) of patients in the adult surgical ward received antimicrobials, the prevalence was the highest (78%) in the paediatric medical wards. All the data collectors were confident in using the app after training and found the tool not complex at all. In addition, the time taken to plan for the study and to collect data was considerably reduced. Reduced time spending is important for instigating quality improvement programmes in resource limited settings. CONCLUSIONS All data collectors would recommend the app for future PPS surveys. Several concerns with data entry were identified, which have now been addressed in both the refined app as well as in future training. The app development has been successful and is now being deployed across South Africa as part of a national PPS.

<p>In 2010 a research project was initiated by the Swiss VSS (research and standardization in the field of road and transportation) and ewp AG, to develop an overall evaluation method for all types of engineering structures, which reduces the personal effect of an inspector on these evaluations and also includes aspects of structural and user safety as well as serviceability. It was developed to improve the reproducibility of condition ratings.<p>After the completion of the project, ewp continued to adapt the method for practical application. In order to easily collect and handle the data, especially for a large number of objects, the data collection and rating algorithm was implemented into a GIS-based database developed by ewp with solutions for mobile and web based data entry and analysis.

ABSTRACTThis article presents the methodology used in a population-based study of early communicative development in Norwegian children using an adaptation of the MacArthur-Bates communicative development inventories (CDI), comprising approximately 6500 children aged between 0 ; 8 and 3 ; 0. To our knowledge, this is the first CDI study collecting data via the Internet. After a short description of the procedures used in adapting the CDI to Norwegian and the selection of participants, we discuss the advantages and potential pitfalls of using web-based forms as a method of data collection. We found that use of web-based forms was far less time-consuming, and therefore also far less expensive than the traditional paper-based forms. The risk of coding errors was virtually eliminated with this method. We conclude that in a society with high access to the Internet, this is a method well worth pursuing.

Physician Decision Making

Introduction: Data quality in stroke registries is typically dependent upon some form of chart review and manual data abstraction. The retrospective nature of this process is inherently prone to incomplete and inaccurate data collection with limited insight into the process of physician decision making. Hypothesis: New software packages accompanying telestroke systems will dramatically improve the quality of data by automating the abstraction process and providing real-time access to electronic databases. Methods: Telestroke systems provide web-based programs that record various levels of data. InTouch Technologies, Inc. currently provides StrokeRESPOND v3.0, a web-based program that facilitates telestroke consultation by organizing elements of the physician-patient encounter, including history, vitals, physical exam, laboratory results, and radiographs, and by generating a consultation note. Many data elements captured in the user interface mirror traditional metrics of acute stroke care research and can be de-identified and then directly transferred into an electronic database. The “forced choice” (aka hard-stop) design of data entry and elimination of secondhand abstraction can minimize data corruption and loss. Further, because each point of data entry and manipulation is time-stamped, powerful metadata_“data about data”_can be explored. By analyzing the sequence and patterns of clinical information entry and utilization, the actual thought process of the physician user can be investigated and provide new insights into stroke treatment. Optimization of acute stroke management, a complicated protocol, can be driven by identification of physician decision making patterns associated with multiple outcomes, including higher rates of treatment and faster treatment times. Conclusions: Specialized software programs will improve registry data collection, completeness and accuracy. The generation of metadata offers exciting, new avenues of research. Prospective stroke research using this methodology will require the collaboration of multiple academic institutions and industry partners.

Telecommunications are vital devices for researchers to exchange information between researchers located in different places around the globe. This kind of exchange can be regarded as external concerning individual institutions. But also internally there are people with matching interests. Why should they hold their seminars or meetings gathering in one place face-to-face at the pre-agreed point of time? This question has lately puzzled the academic community, and will still puzzle during the years to come. Further questions also arise: Will the Internet and WWW technology provide novel solutions? Does the new technology drastically change the dynamics of such group gatherings? The Internet must be seen more than a new medium. It is an infrastructure for commerce, a universal conduit of ideas, a parallel universe where people are exchanging information on an unprecedented scale (Schwartz 1997). Changes in the modes of communication are also emerging. We have at our disposal a powerful medium suited for one-to-one and many-to-many communications (Hoffman and Novak, 1996). On a practical level these developments can be seen in the speed of diffusion of this new technology. Finland, for instance, has turned out to be one of the densest Internet countries in the world. There are 500,000 daily and one million weekly Internet-users (Finland has a total population of 5.1 million). Thirty-six per cent of all the users classify as students, which is not surprising, since all universities in Finland have Internet connections and e-mail addresses available for student use (TOY Research 11/1998). The Internet is also by nature an open system. Thus, in practice for the first time, we now have at our disposal a tool that allows us easily to connect and work within the university as well as with other universities.

Online Data Collection

Online privacy represents a controversial subject for Internet users and online companies alike. Most Internet- active enterprises are using cookies or subscription forms to collect demographic and behavioral data about the Internet users that visit their sites. In exchange, these companies are promising the personalization of online interaction between company and customer, and therefore better value for clients. In addition to these benefits, many firms promise in their privacy disclaimer to use the collected data only for purposes specifically accepted by clients.
