At the Insights Association’s Council for Data Integrity, we've been actively spearheading various #DataQuality initiatives. One notable effort is the Participant Bill of Rights, an essential extension of our professional Code of Standards aimed at safeguarding the participant experience in the dynamic realm of market research. The Participant Bill of Rights serves as a beacon of transparency and integrity in all interactions across participants, vendors, suppliers, subcontractors, and stakeholders at every stage of the research process. The Participant Bill of Rights is designed to protect the participant experience in the ever-evolving world of market research in the United States and: ▪️Outlines critical rights and protections for participants. ▪️ Looks to push the industry’s perspective on participant well-being to the forefront of a new business model that centers the participant experience. ▪️ Aims to protect the industry’s participant pool, and subsequently its insights, from erosion due to poor participant experience and growing fraud.

An excellent graph showing the process of creating a systematic review. Steps 7️⃣ Present Findings and 8️⃣ Disseminate and Update, for example in a publication, will be much easier if all the previous steps are well thought out. In my experience, if a step has been omitted or treated superficially, it'll be hard to account for that in the final research paper.

A systematic approach to finding answers: From question to recommendation. This infographic helps you discover the importance of evidence- based research. Share with your network! #systematicreview #ResearchMatters

In an era marked by skepticism and uncertainty, our latest research delves deep into the intricate web of trust—or lack thereof—in today's society. Drawing from extensive data compiled by Pew Research, we uncover trends that highlight the erosion of trust in key institutions such as the media, government, and innovation. From dwindling confidence in leadership to the prevalence of misinformation, our findings paint a picture of the challenges we face. Check out our new blog post as we explore the nuances of trust and its profound implications for societal progress. https://lnkd.in/ezT__M4e
