<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Dear Researchers,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Greetings! This is a follow-up from last month’s recruitment email. You are being invited to take part in a study to determine how users determine fitness for use of data. You are being invited to take part in this research
study because you are a critical agent as a user of data. Your participation is completely voluntary and responses will be kept confidential. The research is being conducted by researchers at the University of Tennessee.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">If you choose to participate, you will follow the link:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="https://utk.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3aeTqQpPJzbsUjX" target="_blank">Data Fitness for Use</a></span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The survey landing page will have more details. I know your time is valuable, but by taking around 15 minutes to participate in this study, you will provide the field with preliminary data to improve an understanding
of fitness for use to improve data organization, access, and use. By participating, you will help determine the most vital aspects of data that inform whether or not data is fit for your research purposes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">There are not foreseeable risks greater than those encountered in everyday life involved with participating in this research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">You will be asked to describe how you discover and evaluate data from a recent search. You will then be prompted through a series of questions about the findability, accessibility, interoperability, reusability, and some
other factors of the data and its discovery and use. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Your responses will be linked by a unique identifier for any analysis and no direct identifiers will be collected; however, all findings will be reported in the aggregate and any indirect identifiers will be removed prior
to analysis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I greatly appreciate your contribution to the study.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
