This repository contains the step by step procedure that I followed for obtaining the ethics approval from USASK regarding my research survey, "Exploring the Influence of Method Dependencies on Code Understanding"
- Research Survey Form (combined with consent form).
- tcps2_core_certificate.
- behavioural_application_form.
- Template for Email and/or Social Media Post.
- List of intended Survey Participants (In my case, I have provided publicly available emails of the developers from the projects that I mined from GitHub).
After preparing all the documents I mailed Ethics Office ([email protected]) of USASK on September 19, 2024. Initial draft of the application is placed here: Initial_Draft.
I received a preliminary review on September 26, 2024. The review can be found here: Preliminary_Review. After addressing the reviews, I submitted my revised application: Revised_Application.
After my revised application, I received a minor change request from the Chair: Review_From_Chair. After addressing the comment, I submitted the final draft of the application on October 1, 2024: Final_Submission.
