[DDI-users] Metadata quality survey: Improving metadata in public health and epidemiology research

[McMahon, Christiana]

**Apologies for any cross posting **

Dear Colleagues,

I am conducting a survey which aims to review current approaches to assessing metadata quality in public health and epidemiology research. With current drives to increase the availability of metadata, and use standards where possible, this survey forms a part of my work looking at ways to improve the quality of metadata. This work complements a recent project I was involved in looking at ways to enhance data discoverability<http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/About-us/Policy/Spotlight-issues/Data-sharing/Public-health-and-epidemiology/WTP054675.htm>,  as commissioned by the Wellcome Trust on behalf on the Public Health Research Data Forum.

My work is being funded by a MRC CASE Studentship with AIMES Grid Services CIC.

I would very much appreciate it if you could complete the survey, and if possible, circulate this invitation further. The survey should not take more than 10 minutes to complete, but the option to save your answers and return to the survey later is available.

The survey will close on: 13th February 2015

If you have any questions, please see below for my contact details.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best wishes
Christiana
