This webpage provides links & resources for researchers relating to general research design issues, as well as data acquisition, processing, visualization, and analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to book the equipment in the AcqVA and PoLaR lab, follow these steps: Sikt<\/a> is the Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research. All projects that involve processing of personal data (names, emails, IP addresses, etc.) at any stage must be approved by Sikt. To apply for approval you need to fill out and submit a notification form<\/a> on Sikt’s website. Sikt also regulates the information<\/a> that must be provided to participants in any experiment. Download the Sikt template for information and consent forms here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Annikken Steinbakk<\/a> is UiT’s Data protection officer (personvernombud<\/em>). Here<\/a> you can download slides from former data protection officer Joakim Bakkevold’s presentation on data protection and NSD approval for research projects (UiT account needed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We use a host of tools for designing experiments including OpenSesame<\/a>, jsPsych<\/a> (esp. for experiments hosted online on our JATOS server), Gorilla<\/a> and, more recently, E-Prime<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have also used proprietary software packages provided with our infrared eye-trackers: SMI Experiment Center (download manual here<\/a>) and EyeLink Experiment Builder (site<\/a> and video tutorials<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to use any of the available lab equipment please get in touch with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several options for safely running experiments on the web. If you have a simple experimental design (e.g. a survey, vocabulary test, etc.) consider using Nettskjema<\/a>. This is a simple and secure solution developed by the University of Oslo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more complex designs, we recommend the following solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prolific<\/a> is a platform for recruiting participants for online surveys and experiments that adheres to the European privacy and data protection regulations (GDPR). The pool of participants is primarily English-speaking, but not exclusively. It can be used in combination with both JATOS (instructions<\/a>) and Gorilla (see instructions here<\/a> and here<\/a>). For short instructions on how to transfer money from your project to you Prolific account, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UiT researchers can use SharePoint and OneDrive (accessible via Office 365<\/a>) for data storage. UiT recommends<\/a> SharePoint for storing research data and OneDrive for personal storage (all the data on OneDrive is automatically deleted when a person leaves the institution). More information can be obtained at UiT’s Research Data Portal.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of the researchers in the lab use R<\/a> for data analysis. Here<\/a> you can access video recordings of Bodo Winter’s course on Statistical Modeling for Linguists focusing on (generalized) linear models (taught at UiT, June 2021), and here<\/a> you will find all the materials for the course. We also recommend Bodo’s book<\/a> on the same topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This<\/a> is a short non-technical introduction to Bayesian mixed effects models (by Michael Franke and Timo Roettger).<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the analysis of Visual World eye-tracking data, access Serge’s<\/a> introduction to the cluster-based based permutation analysis here<\/a>, and find his presentation on the analysis of effect latencies in VW eye-tracking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make research data and code openly available, researchers can use domain-general repositories such as OSF<\/a>, or UiT\u2019s institutional repository for open research data<\/a>. Click here<\/a> for a registry of data repositories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use the AcqVA Aurora Collection (https:\/\/dataverse.no\/dataverse\/acqva<\/a>) in TROLLing<\/a> (The Troms\u00f8 Repository of Language and Linguistics), which is a specialized repository for linguistic data. The advantage of TROLLing is that it is curated by data experts who will ensure that your dataset meets all the industry standards, making it potentially more accessible and reusable (deposit guidelines<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here you can download a video<\/a> and pdf<\/a> tutorial on using TROLLing (by Helene N. Andreassen<\/a> and Leif Longva<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The GitHub repo<\/a> contains materials and resources for our workshops and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out our YouTube channel<\/a> on which we post videos of our research, instructions on how to use equipment, or how to perform certain tasks or analyses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This webpage provides links & resources for researchers relating to general research design issues, as well as data acquisition, processing, visualization, and analysis.
