Make a survey for Scholia users

[fnielsen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We would like to have a survey of Scholia users

Describe the solution you'd like

• On Scholia (all pages?) we would like to have a link to the survey
• Perhaps Google Forms? Or is there other Wikimedia-oriented survey. Lime survey?

"Wikimedia Foundation has a LimeSurvey instance available to staff members" - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LimeSurvey/

Or https://survey.wikisp.org/

I have set up https://scholia.limesurvey.net and am playing with the options there.

[Daniel-Mietchen]

I set up a test survey at https://scholia.limesurvey.net/765572 .

[Daniel-Mietchen]

I think the free version of LimeSurvey cloud is not an option, as it is limited to 25 responses:

They offer several paid plans at https://www.limesurvey.org/pricing :

I asked at the Wikimedia Hackathon Telegram channel whether anyone knows of an instance on Wikimedia servers.

Shall we host our own instance?

[Daniel-Mietchen]

A bot in the Telegram channel pointed me to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Survey_Support_Desk
and
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LimeSurvey . The latter (already mentioned by Finn above) has a table

that mentions https://survey.wikisp.org/ (again, as pointed out by Finn).
So maybe we have to set up a Phabricator ticket for this. Will look into that.

Do we know where limesurvey.net-based LimeSurvey data goes? In terms of GDPR? And who is Wikimedia Small Projects?

[fnielsen]

Can you move an a LimeSurvey questionaire from one LimeSurvey instance to another?

[fnielsen]

(please edit and add)

Possible questions:

• How did you come here?
  • Typed home address
  • From Wikimedia Commons
  • From a search engine
• Have you heard of Scholia (or do you know what it is?)
• What do you use it for?
• What is missing in Scholia? (data: papers, citation, authors, topics) (features: I would like to...)
• How much do you use Scholia?

[Daniel-Mietchen]

A request for this survey to be ported to LimeSurvey has been drafted, and it includes draft questions:

I have added to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Italia/LimeSurvey/Requests/Scholia_user_survey_2024#Discussion

"""Other questions could be "How would you rate Scholia?" (optional, single choice on a scale). "What do you like about Scholia?" (optional, free text)."""
