Online Research Quality Council (ORQC) Foundations of Quality on Overlap and Duplication
The ARF’s Foundations of Quality (FoQ) project begins to bear fruit with the creation of the first of a number of topic-based reports based on the FoQ research-on-research project’s results.
In today’s world of swift and rapid change, knowledge is power. Just a few short weeks after the presentation of the preliminary results of the FoQ study at the ARF’s 2009 Annual Re:Think Conference, the first topical paper on Overlap and Duplication in online panels has been completed. This paper, authored by Bob Walker, President of Surveys & Forecasts, LLC and Joel Rubinson, Chief Research Officer and Dr. Raymond Pettit, Senior Vice President at the ARF, sheds definitive light on this critical industry issue.
Following the careful participation and vetting processes established at the outset of this project, this paper is currently under review by the ORQC leadership, committees, and supporters of the project. Following that, it will be released, initially, to ARF members. The paper will then be available as part of an Industry Report later in 2009.
