We’d like to hear from you! The SOEP team is introducing a space for users to submit suggestions for future data collection, such as new variables, questions, methodological improvements, or anything else you think would make SOEP more useful for your research.
We can’t promise to implement every suggestion, but we do commit to reading them carefully and factoring community input into our planning where feasible.
How it works:
-
Post your suggestion as a reply to this thread
-
Show your support for others’ ideas with a
reaction. Every vote counts! -
The SOEP team may remove comments that do not contribute to this topic.
-
The SOEP team may remove suggestions that violate our policies.
To help us evaluate your idea, please briefly describe:
-
What you’d like to see (variable, module, methodological change, etc.)
-
How does your idea utilize the panel dimension of SOEP
-
Why it would be valuable for research
-
Who you think would benefit (specific research communities, disciplines, etc.)
We look forward to the exchange.
The SOEP Team
