@Iadmc: @Stuartyeates: @Jane023: @Rosiestep: @SPatton (WMF): @Rich Farmbrough: @Neotarf: Hi all. You've all communicated with us about this research earlier in 2017 at Research talk:Voice and exit in a voluntary work environment. I'm following up with you as we have made some good progress on a proposed framework we would like to do some experiments with, to assess the viability of the direction we're moving towards. We have documented the suggested framework at Research:Voice_and_exit_in_a_voluntary_work_environment/Team_work_effect:a_viability_test. If you are interested, please read it and share your feedback with us.

To give you a sense in terms of the next steps and timelines: We will be requesting feedback from the people who may be interested in this research in the coming 2 weeks. We will then review the feedback and incorporate it as much as possible in the process. If we can't incorporate, hopefully we will convince you and others why that is the case. Then, we spend another 2 weeks finalizing the decision on which communities may be good candidates for this first version of the experiment. (We don't want to exhaust many communities, since this experiment will serve as a proof of concept that the direction is correct, or not.)

I'm hoping that we arrive at a place where we can run this tets in early April 2018 and have the results before the end of June 2018 (hopefully earlier, but this kind of experiments may need longer times as we rely on people being willing to participate in them.)

Anything you want to share, we're looking forward to hear. --LZia (WMF) (talk) 19:51, 2 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

  1. The survey 'Doctoral Degree' should be 'Doctoral Degree (Phd)' to make a clear distinction in the case of medical doctors.
  2. I would encourage you to match groups of three, rather than two, since there is much more opportunity for for positive group dynamics in a group of three
  3. The editor community has historically been quite adamant they they should be kept informed. A page outlining the project should be created once all the details are settled and all emails should contain a link to it as 'further information'
