Hürth, 12 February 2013 – DGOF and Webdatanet have made a cooperative agreement for GOR 13. This cooperation aims at fostering both networking opportunities and high quality scientific presentations and workshops at the General Online Research 2013.

Webdatanet and DGOF jointly organize three workshops taking place on Wednesday, 6 March 2013. The workshops cover the topics: “Creative survey design: the art and science of designing better surveys” by Jon Puleston, “Introduction to weighting online surveys” by Stephanie Steinmetz and Annamaria Bianchi, and “Writing a peer-review report for journal articles: insights for current and potential reviewers” by Mario Callegaro.

GOR 13 program chair and DGOF board member Dr. Lars Kaczmirek: “The GOR conference series has a tradition of bringing together researchers from around the globe to meet and discuss current topics and developments in online research. As the European network Webdatanet is all about fostering research and distributing knowledge we are looking forward to the joint activities at the conference. As the Webdatanet meeting continues after the GOR this will allow opportunities for interaction between both events.”
Vice president of Webdatanet Dr. Stephanie Steinmetz: “Webdatanet is a unique European network of more than 76 leading web-based data collection experts contributing to the stimulation, integration and legitimacy of web-based data collection methods. As the GOR conference is one of the most important forums for the exchange and discussion of current innovations and developments in online research we are looking forward to the cooperation and the upcoming event in Mannheim.”
