[Alexandre Bish]

   Hi Alexis,

   I am very interested in participating as I am currently conducting a
   research project on this too.

   Do check out www.myraresearch.com for GenAI in social science research,
   to help thematically analyse your interview transcripts and papers
   securely.

   Best wishes,

   Alex

   Hi AoIR community,
   I'm seeking interview participants for a study about research
   productivity
   and time management hacks, tools, techniques, and technologies used by
   scholars in a higher education. Please see the full IRB-approved
   recruiting
   statement below, or let me know if you have any questions.
   I'll begin conducting interviews this month, but will continue
   collecting
   data for a while, so there is no rush to participate if you are
   currently
   slammed with mid-semester work. Just drop me an email (*do not* "reply
   all"
   this email, please) if you're interested and would like to be
   interviewed
   at some point over the next few months, and we can set up a time that
   works for you.
   Best regards,
   Lexi
   ____________________________
   This study explores issues of time management and research productivity
   for
   scholars in a variety of higher-education settings in the United
   States. In
   particular, I want to hear about how you make time for research, and
   any
   productivity or time management techniques, tools, apps, programs,
   “hacks,”
   or advice you’ve tried or continue to use.
   I’m looking for scholars based in the United States from all walks of
   academic life – from early career researchers to full professors, from
   small liberal arts colleges to large R1 institutions, from
   tenure-track faculty to visiting scholars and post-doctoral fellows.
   You
   may consider yourself a highly productive researcher or someone who
   struggles to make time for research. All experiences and “experience
   levels” are encouraged to participate. The only requirement is that you
   have completed your PhD and work at a higher education institution in
   the
   United States in the fields of Humanities or Social Sciences.
   If you agree to be interviewed, you’ll be asked to participate in a
   semi-structured conversation with me for roughly 60 minutes, to be
   conducted and recorded via Zoom. Your participation is entirely
   voluntary; there is no compensation for participating, and no penalty
   for
   choosing not to participate or to withdraw from the study. You can
   withdraw
   your participation at any time and for any reason.The anticipated risks
   to
   participants are minimal; however, some participants may feel
   frustrated or
   demoralized talking about the expectations of academic publishing and
   obstacles to research productivity.
   All data collected will remain confidential as required by the law and
   institutional policy. All the
   information and methods in this study have been approved by the West
   Virginia Wesleyan College Institutional Review Board. Names will not be
   attached to any data and recorded responses will be kept in a secure
   location. Following completion of this research and analysis of the
   data,
   all audio-visual recordings of the interviews will be deleted; only
   anonymized transcripts will be kept for research purposes.
   In the event of injury or illness as direct result of participation in
   this
   research study, no compensation, financial or otherwise will be
   available
   from the researcher or West Virginia Wesleyan College. If you have any
   questions about this study, you may contact Alexis de Coning at
   deconing.a at wvwc.edu, or contact the chairperson of the IRRB, Dr. Mary
   Medlin, at medlin.m at wvwc.edu.
   If you would like to participate in this study, please contact Alexis
   de
   Coning at deconing.a at wvwc.edu.
