List Guidelines</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>April 15, 2003<BR><BR>As a service to the Child Maltreatment
Research List (CMRL), this message<BR>will be posted once a month to remind
subscribers what the moderation<BR>guidelines are and where they can find help
managing their subscription.
<BR><BR>****************************************<BR>The goal of the CMRL is to
encourage scholarly discussion among researchers<BR>in the field of child
abuse and neglect. Appropriate topics for discussion<BR>include all areas of
child abuse and neglect research (e.g., epidemiology,<BR>etiology, prevention,
consequences, intervention, and treatment) and the<BR>full range of relevant
research issues (e.g., measurement, instrumentation,<BR>statistical analysis,
ethics). The list is not open to discussions of<BR>program-related or clinical
issues except as they relate to evaluation<BR>research. <BR><BR><B>Moderation
Policy<BR></B>The CMRL is moderated. When you send a message to the list, it
goes to the<BR>moderator who has the option to accept or discard it.
<BR><BR>In general the following types of messages are discarded: <BR>1)
messages intended for the List processor (listproc@cornell.edu) rather<BR>than
the list <BR>2) messages concerning subscriptions to the list <BR>3) messages
that are intended for an individual subscriber and are not of<BR>interest, or
do not pertain to, the whole list <BR>4) messages that are not related to
child maltreatment research <BR>5) overly general requests for information and
assistance <BR>6) inflammatory or unprofessional messages<BR>7) requests for
contacts from people seeking a job; however, the list does<BR>accept
employment postings<BR>8) automatic replies <BR>9) messages with attachments
greater than 100 KB in size<BR><BR><B>Subject Line<BR></B>As a courtesy to
other subscribers, always fill in the Subject line when<BR>you post a message
to the CMRL. <BR><BR><B>Posting Policy<BR></B>Only subscribers may post to the
CMRL. Specifically, this means that only e-mails that contain a subscribed
e-mail address in the From: field reach the Moderator. Messages from
non-subscriber addresses are rejected (with notification to the sender) to
protect list resources against spam. CMRL subscribers can subscribe under as
many of their e-mail addresses as desired if they want to post from different
accounts. Of course, subscribing under multiple e-mail addresses means that
you receive CMRL postings at each of those addresses.<BR><BR><B>Attachments
Policy<BR></B>Subscribers should not use attachments in their messages.
Attachments<BR>present a virus risk to other list members, and they can be
extremely<BR>inconvenient for members with slower Internet connections. In the
majority<BR>of cases, messages with attachments will be discarded by the CMRL
Moderator.<BR><BR><B>Default Reply Setting<BR></B>This list is set up so that
replies are sent to the entire list, not the<BR>author of the original
message. Therefore, if you click "Reply" to a<BR>message from the list, your
message will be submitted to the CMRL Moderator<BR>for posting. It will not go
to the author of the original posting.<BR><BR><B>Auto-Reply
Policy<BR></B>Subscribers should refrain from using the Auto-Reply feature
available in<BR>many e-mail programs. Auto-Replies are messages that are sent
to people<BR>automatically when you are on vacation. When a subscriber selects
this<BR>option, the CMRL Moderator receives an auto-reply for every post to
the<BR>list. If you must use the auto-reply feature, please unsubscribe from
the<BR>list while you are on vacation and re-subscribe upon your
return.<BR><BR><B>Past CMRL Postings<BR></B>All past postings to the CMRL list
are available for browsing at the NDACAN Web site: <U><?color><?param 0000,0000,fefe>http://www.ndacan.cornell.edu<?/color></U>.
This index is a searchable catalogue of all posts to the CMRL since 1996 and
is intended to serve as a resource for individuals looking for information
about child maltreatment research. It is important to point out, however, that
this index is open to all users of the World Wide Web, not just to subscribers
of the CMRL. NDACAN encourages posters to the list to realize that their
messages are not private and may circulate beyond the community of CMRL
subscribers.<BR><BR><B>Leaving the List<BR></B>To leave the list at any time,
send an e-mail from your subscribed address to listproc@cornell.edu with only
the following line in the body:<BR><BR>unsubscribe
child-maltreatment-research-L<BR><BR><B>Getting Help<BR></B>If you have
questions or problems with your subscription, please e-mail
N<B>DACAN@cornell.edu</B>. <BR>Additional help, including information about
customizing your subscription, is available on-line: <BR><U><?color><?param 0000,0000,fefe>http://www.cit.cornell.edu/cit-pubs/email/using-lists.html<?/color></U>.<BR><BR><B>Sponsor<BR></B>This

Hello
I've conducted website research and am finishing the development of a
tailor-izeable tool for students and other researchers to use.
These are excellent questions.
Encouraging someone to complete a survey online is much the same as
doing so in person with pencil and paper instruments.... some
researchers use small incentives, which would be harder to deliver
via web. Having done a great deal of web-based information
gathering, I can only say that by "human factoring" the pages to
reasonable lengths and by informing the participant at the beginning
and throughout, how many pages there are and how close to the
completion they are, is about all you can do.
As for preventing people from making multiple records, the web server
can gather data such as the incoming IP address and record that with
the record so as to detect possible multiple submissions from the
same computer.
Feel free to contact me off-listserve for more help or technical information.
