[QUOTE="petergittins, post: 5907852, member: 117780"] Hello everyone. I am writing this thread to bridge the gap between the research community and farmers. Research is a two way process which needs communication from both sides, whether this being undertaken by student researchers, academics, or within industry. It is a vital part of moving the agricultural sector forward, building on prior knowledge, and developing future capabilities. The aim of this thread is to try and understand how researchers can communicate with farmers in this forum better. What I would like to know from you is how can the collection methods posted within this group be improved. To put it simply, what makes you [B][U]not[/U][/B] want to fill in survey, or take part in a questionnaire? To get the ball rolling I can think of a few examples which makes me [B][U]not[/U][/B] want to take part in a student survey: -Stating it "only takes a few minutes", when it [B][U]takes an hour. [/U][/B] -Too much jargon. -Boring, ridiculous, or pointless research topic. -Disappearing after you have given your time to help them. -Poor design, silly question structures, poor spelling etc. -No regard for ethics, or how your data will be used. -Disregard of forum rules. -Not revealing their identity So, what I'm asking you to do is list some ways in which researchers can improve their collection techniques? What is the difference between you thinking "yeah why not", or just scrolling straight past it. Hopefully, researchers will take note of the responses and respect the wishes of those within the farming community. Creating interesting surveys/interviews etc which conform with the needs of those they are researching. If you have any questions let me know. [/QUOTE]
