Surveys
​
Please note: In order to prevent our Listserv participants from being overwhelmed by surveys, DOCS has an official Survey Vetting and Approval Policy, which can be reviewed here. Please do NOT post surveys to the DOCS Listserv without first going through the Survey Vetting and Approval process.

DOCS Survey Vetting and Approval Policy

Scholarly products that are developed by surveying DOCS members and/or through collaborations fostered by DOCS should include a formal acknowledgement of the DOCS organization (see Policy on Acknowledging DOCS in Scholarly Work).
