Of these responses, three were removed because they were supplied by people from outside the UK without a clear indication of involvement with the UK or associated infrastructure. A fourth response was removed as both came from the same person which leaves us with 164 responses in the data.The survey responses, Question (Q) Q1-Q16, have been decoupled from the demographic data, Q17-Q23. Questions Q24-Q28 are for follow-up and have been removed from the data. The institutions (Q17) and funding sources (Q18) have been provided in a separate fileas this could be used to identify respondents. Q17, Q18 and Q19-Q23 have all been independently shuffled.The data has been made available as Comma Separated Values (CSV) with the question number as the header of each column and the encoded responses in the column below. To see what the question and the responses correspond to you will have to consult the survey-results-key.csv which decodes the question and responses accordingly.A pdf copy of the survey questions isavailable on GitHub.The survey data has been decoupled into:survey-results-key.csv - maps a question number and the responses to the actual question values.q1-16-survey-results.csv- the non-demographic component of the survey responses (Q1-Q16).q19-23-demographics.csv - the demographic part of the survey (Q19-Q21, Q23).q17-institutions.csv - the institution/location of the respondent (Q17).q18-funding.csv - funding sources within the last 5 years (Q18).Please note the code that has been used to do the analysis will not run with the decoupled survey data.Other data files includedCleanedLocations.csv - normalised version of the institutions that the survey respondents volunteered.DTPs.csv - information on the UKRI Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) scaped from the UKRI DTP contacts web page in October 2021.projectsearch-1646403729132.csv.gz - data snapshot from the UKRI Gateway to Research released on the 24th February 2022 made available under an Open Government Licence.locations.csv - latitude and longitude for the institutions in the cleaned locations.subjects.csv - research classifications for the ESRC projects for the 24th February data snapshot.topics.csv - topic classification for the ESRC projects for the 24th February data snapshot.Interview transcriptsThe interview transcripts have been anonymised and converted to markdown so that it's easier to process in general.
