Acknowledgement Bias Survey
|
|
DFI’s Women in Deep Foundations (WiDF) Committee would like to identify bias within the deep foundation industry for providing credit, citations and acknowledgement of work. To help achieve that goal, they have created a survey to evaluate the prevalence, patterns and impacts of unattributed or misattributed credit within the industry. The data derived from the survey will be kept confidential and anonymous and will be presented as summary statistics in an article series for DFI’s Deep Foundations magazine. At the end of this survey, respondents have the option to share an example which may be published in an article. Please note that any names or identifying information included within the example will be removed before publication.
Responses are being accepted through Feb. 10. Scan or click the QR code to access the survey.
