[공모 내용]

Call for submissions – Collect data in four different countries!

The Open Probability-based Panel Alliance (OPPA) consists of four probability-based panels: the GESIS Panel in Germany, the LISS Panel in the Netherlands, the Korean Academic Multimode Open Survey (KAMOS) in South Korea, and the Understanding America Study (UAS) in the USA. The Alliance facilitates cross-cultural survey research with probability based panels across the globe, endorsing joint methodological standards to yield representative data.

In order to showcase the alliance, we would like to invite you to collect your data withinOPPA free of charge. Future data collection, though, will follow the pricing schemes that can be found on the OPPA website.

How to submit your study proposal within OPPA

We welcome submissions from researchers at universities or research institutes and from various disciplines. Proposals can be submitted by email to submission@openpanelalliance.org no later than 17 June 2018 (11:59 pm PST).

Overall requirements

The proposal should contain

● name, address, affiliation;

● a brief description of the cross-cultural research questions (about 1 page) and

● a preliminary version of the complete set of proposed survey questions in English (including question sources if applicable).

The questionnaire should not exceed five minutes. The data will be published without an embargo. 

OPPA member-specific requirements

All probability-based survey panels collect high-quality, representative data either solely or partly through online questionnaires. Please make sure your questionnaire fits the different requirements for data collection of the partners in OPPA: 

The GESIS Panel is part of GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences in Mannheim, Germany and offers the social science community a unique opportunity to collect survey data within a probability-based mixed-mode access panel (i.e., with web-based and mail surveys). Because there is also a paper-and-pencil questionnaire, it is necessary, for example, that your proposed questionnaire does not include multimedia elements or question types that use Flash. Further, the topic has to be relevant for everyone living in Germany. The GESIS Panel offers extensive guidelines on how to submit a study at GESIS Panel Survey Style Guide (for this call, though, only sections 1, 2 and 3.3 are of particular importance).

The LISS Panel (Longitudinal Internet studies for the Social Sciences) has been in full operation since October 2007. The panel is based on a true probability sample of Dutch households drawn from the population register by Statistics Netherlands. Households that could not otherwise participate are provided with a computer and Internet connection. Panel members complete online questionnaires every month of about 30 minutes in total. They are paid for each completed questionnaire. Part of the interview time available in the LISS panel is reserved for the LISS Core Study. This longitudinal study is repeated yearly and is designed to follow changes in the life course and living conditions of the panel members. All data collecting in the LISS panel are made available through the LISS data archive. More information can be found here: www.lissdata.nl. Proposed questions must be comprehensible to all respondents, and should not be offensive or culturally inappropriate to any group.

KAMOS is conducted by the Center for Asian Public Opinion Research & Collaboration

Initiative (CAPORCI) at Chungnam National University in Daejeon, South Korea. It is a

nationally representative survey of the Korean adult population. The panel is regularly

refreshed via face-to-face interviews. Panel members can choose whether to be invited to

participate in future surveys online or by phone. More information about KAMOS can be

found on our website.

The Understanding America Study (UAS) is housed within the Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR) at Dornsife College, University of Southern California in the United States. This online, nationally representative, probability-based survey panel is recruited through address based sampling methods. Tablets with internet access are provided to willing participants who do not have use of a computer or internet at home. Respondents receive at least one survey a month, update their demographics questionnaire quarterly. Surveys are translated from English to Spanish whenever possible. More information about UAS as well as access to our prior 125+ existing surveys can be found on our datapages.

We look forward to receiving your proposal!
