Data analyst, social sciences. I have a particular interest in data visualization and survey design.
We can share the raw data privately with other researchers, but unfortunately can't share it publicly, as in sociology it's often the case that it would make respondents identifiable.

I have a couple papers in the HAL open archive, but not on PsyArXiv, as psychology is not my field. My bad, I should have mentioned that. If Metacheck works on it, you can try this one hal.science/hal-04095898...
International PhD students in France under COVID-19 Crisis
Since the beginning of the 21st century, PhD mobility mapping has changed, becoming broader and more diversified. It is increasingly accompanied by multi-centric movements, even if these movements still predominantly concern Europeans and Americans. Since 2020, however, the health crisis has made this mobility more complicated. It may have been prevented or strongly restricted. We hypothesised that young international researchers, who have been little studied despite the strong internationalisation of doctoral training, have been particularly affected. This article therefore proposes to study the consequences of the recent health crisis on the experience of international PhD students in France. It is based on a recent enquiry by questionnaire. The analysis of statistical data and content of the open questions show that travel restrictions, isolation procedures and border closures, have somehow altered the nature of international PhD experience, increased vulnerabilities, and changed the work conditions of young international researchers in France.

If the report just says "there's no problem", report minor problems I can't prioritize fixing, or incorrectly detect issues, I'd certainly quickly unsubscribe from it as it would increase my e-mail volume for a disputable benefit (like I unsubcribe from mailing lists I stopped reading).

Another example is randomizing the person who answers the question, e.g. using self-reporting vs. using proxy respondents papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... (again wording certainly changes since you have to switch the grammatical person of the question, but you also randomize who answers it).

Not just wordings, e.g. it can involve randomizing participants to various financial incentives jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... (well, there's necessarily a change of wording here, but it’s not just rewording as you have to actually pay participants)

I guess this is really a massive time saver eventually, but surely there are caveats.

I'd be genuinely interested in reading a systematic evaluation of that.

how is "good at doing that" evaluated, though? Replicating something isn't really impressive if Claude/Gemini has already access to it.

Depending on your jurisdiction, this might be illegal for your employer (e.g. where I live, there's some jurisprudence about an employer not having the right to access folders explicitly labelled as "personal")

Very curious indeed. This page www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2017/2... says "'higher education provider' means an institution which provides higher education". Why not simply saying higher education institution then? This is quintessential bureaucratese.

D'ailleurs, contrairement à ce que raconte la lettre du ministère, la page d'accueil du questionnaire lui-même ne prétend pas être anonyme, mais dit seulement qu'il est pseudonymisé (ce qui pose par ailleurs des questions éthiques et légales, vu la sensibilité des questions posées).

La page d'accueil du questionnaire (si on suit le lien donné dans la copie de la lettre) indique de contacter l'adresse dpo@ifop.com pour "toute demande concernant vos données personnelles". Si vous êtes dans le public ciblé, vous pouvez probablement leur écrire pour leur poser ces questions.

+1. Par ailleurs, la lettre du ministère est erronée : le sondage n'est pas anonyme au sens légal du terme, car vu les questions posées, on peut certainement identifier certains répondants. D'ailleurs la page d'accueil du questionnaire se garde bien d'utiliser le terme "anonyme".

I strongly suspect he's trying to incite teenagers to bully each others here. His AI thing is targeted at people over 13.

Au passage, mon commentaire "entre 7 et 18 ans = plus difficile d'acquérir une langue étrangère" est un raccourci très grossier; c'est en réalité un phénomène complexe et sujet de débats en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critica.... Sans doute du debunk à faire aussi sur cet aspect-là du discours de Blanquer.

Dans l'interview, sur un autre sujet, il affirme qu'il essaie généralement d'être "précis et mesuré", no comment.

Donc même indépendamment du principe de stigmatiser les immigrants de cette façon, l'analyse selon laquelle les enfants immigrés feraient "baisser le niveau général" de manière significative est complètement erronée.
