We understand the nature of social research, and can help staff and students from member organisations with the infrastructure and support required to perform their research effectively and efficiently.
ACSPRI has developed customised software to conduct social research and data analysis. We can also develop new software to suit your specific research needs.
We install, host and maintain standard or customised social research software. We provide support and training as part of our service. We can assist with social research software on the Nectar Research Cloud.
We have particular expertise in the installation, customisation, development, hosting and training for:
- queXML - Questionnaire description and form creation toolkit
- queXF - Paper form processing
- queXS - Telephone interviewing system
- queXC - Text classification / coding software
- R - Statistical computing software
- Dataverse - Research data repository software
- Limesurvey - Web based survey software - ACSPRI is a Limesurvey Authorised Partner
Examples of the work we have performed for member organisations include:
Installing, maintaining and providing support for web based and telephone interviewing for a large scale national survey using the queXS software
Customising the queXF package to perform multiple choice paper examination processing
Installing, maintaining and providing support for the Dataverse at the ADA
Testimonial:
“queXS is the right solution to our health survey data collection needs. We are collecting data for a large national oral health survey in collaboration with the Commonwealth Department of Health and State/Territory Health Departments. queXS software is incorporated with LimeSurvey to provide a complete survey package that allows the creation of questionnaire instruments, sample management, CATI queueing and mixed mode data collection (CATI, web, paper).
This software has allowed us to collect data in multiple modes with a simple and efficient management process. For our primary survey we utilise the online and CATI modes and for our secondary survey we utilise the online and paper method, all managed through queXS.
The software is fully customisable and perfect for our needs. The cost is very low, especially considering the exceptional, personalised and timely support provided by ACSPRI. On occasions where there have been small bugs we have had exceptional support and any issues have been fixed very quickly and without negatively affecting the project. We have regularly changed our processes and have had customisations programmed for our needs upon request under significant time constraints.
I recommend queXS for any CATI, paper or mixed use data collection needs, particularly for organisations in Australia where other products are comparably expensive for comparable functions and the support is generally provided from overseas which creates time zone issues for communications with software providers.”
