Speaker
Description
The purpose of this talk is to present md2qstn, a specialized R library developed to bridge the gap between plain-text survey drafting and digital deployment. md2qstn enables the conversion of Markdown-formatted questionnaires into DDI(Data Documentation Initiative)-compliant XML and Qualtrics-compatible QSF(Qualtrics Survey Format) JSON files. Although the prevailing approach in social research involves the use of browser-based GUIs, such methods lack the scalability and efficiency required for complex or iterative survey development. By adopting Markdown as a foundational format, md2qstn mitigates the inefficiencies associated with manual web UI entries. The suite of functions within md2qstn offers social scientists a platform for reproducible survey design, effectively integrating the survey data lifecycle into a seamless R-based workflow.
