Surveys

17.0K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Introduction to Surveying, Plane Surveying and Geodetic Surveys

1.1K
Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

Errors and Mistakes in Surveying01:19

Errors and Mistakes in Surveying

727
Errors and mistakes in surveying refer to inaccuracies in measurements and data recording. The errors are deviations from the actual value caused by human sensory limitations, equipment flaws, or environmental effects. These errors are typically unintentional and can result from the inherent imperfections in the instruments used, atmospheric conditions, or the observer’s inability to perceive exact measurements. On the other hand, mistakes are caused by the surveyor's lack of...

Types of Surveys01:27

Types of Surveys

372
Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

413
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Topographic Surveying and Contours01:29

Topographic Surveying and Contours

995
Topographic surveying is critical for documenting the Earth's surface, focusing on capturing elevations, slopes, and natural and man-made features. It is essential in construction planning, water resource management, and land-use analysis. The primary outcome of such surveys is a topographic map, which uses contour lines to visually represent the shape and slope of the terrain, providing valuable insights into the landscape's characteristics.Contour lines are fundamental to understanding the...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Humanities
  • Bibliometrics

Background:

  • Informal metrics like tweet counts are used to gauge interest in academic papers.
  • Understanding who tweets and uses Twitter for scholarly information is crucial for interpreting these metrics.
  • The study addresses the gap in knowledge regarding scholarly Twitter usage patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the demographics and scholarly-related uses of Twitter users who tweet academic papers.
  • To understand how different user characteristics influence information discovery and sharing behaviors on Twitter.
  • To assess the role of Twitter in scholarly communication and the dissemination of academic research.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted among 1,912 users who had tweeted journal articles.
  • The survey collected data on users' scholarly-related Twitter activities, motivations, and demographics.
  • Statistical analysis was performed to identify patterns and correlations.

Main Results:

  • Nearly half (45%) of respondents were not affiliated with academia.
  • Users with social science and humanities backgrounds were more frequent users.
  • Information discovery primarily relied on social networks rather than direct searches.
  • Motivations and information sharing varied by discipline, occupation, and sector, but not significantly by gender.

Conclusions:

  • Twitter is a significant platform for scholarly information discovery and cross-disciplinary knowledge exchange.
  • The substantial non-academic user base validates the use of tweet counts as indicators of broader research impact.
  • Understanding user motivations and behaviors is key to leveraging Twitter effectively for academic purposes.
