We are investigating the roles involved with software development in research and the types of activities researchers perform while developing code. Our goal is to recognise contributor roles in software to bring more value to research effort.

We are contacting you because we believe you develop code to support your research. If this is incorrect, we apologize; if you know of someone who is then we'd be grateful if you could forward this invitation to them.

If you'd like to help in our investigation, we'd appreciate 5-10 minutes of your time to answer our questionnaire. The answers are mostly tick boxes and some short text box answers (one or two words required).

Please follow this link if you'd like to participate:

Any questions please respond to this email.

We may send another invite in two weeks if you don't respond, but you will not be added to a mail listing.
