"Thank you for taking this survey about research use of text and data mining (TDM). We understand that by taking it, you consent to giving us this information. This research is led by Prof. Patricia Aufderheide in the School of Communication at American University and Brandon Butler at University of Virginia library. We are looking at the challenges faced by researchers doing TDM, especially in regard to copyright issues. This study was given a waiver by the Institutional Review Board of American University. You will be anonymous to us, unless you choose to give us your name, in which case your identity and all information associated with it will be kept confidential. The data are stored securely, via the Qualtrics platform and American University. We may reuse this information in later studies, but always keeping either anonymity or confidentiality, according to the option you have chosen."
