Research Now Team Takes Home ESOMAR Excellence Award for Best Paper of the Year 2013/2014

(firmenpresse) - PLANO, TX -- (Marketwired) -- 09/22/14 -- Research Now, the global leader in permission-based, digital data collection, was recently honored with the prestigious ESOMAR Excellence Award for Best Paper of the Year at the 2014 ESOMAR Congress, which took place September 7-10 in Nice, France.
The authors who collaborated on the winning paper with the highest standards of quality and best practice in research are:
Melanie Courtright, Senior Vice President, Client Services - Americas
Annie Pettit, Vice President, Research Standards
Kartik Pashupati, Research Director
Roddy Knowles, Director, Mobile Research
The winning paper, "Multimode, Global Scale Usage: Understanding Respondent Scale Usage across Borders and Devices," was originally presented at ESOMAR Congress 2013 in Istanbul, Turkey. The paper was also an ESOMAR Congress 2013 Award Nominee for Best Paper Overall and an ESOMAR Congress 2013 Award Winner for Best Methodological Paper.
The paper seeks to understand how seemingly insignificant differences -- the number of points on a scale, whether the scale was responded to on a computer or a mobile device, whether the person reacting to the scale is old or young, Canadian or British -- affect survey results. The project of discussion is one of the first to use a large, census-balanced sample across 10 countries that were carefully selected to provide a diversity of cultural dimensions while at the same time including a mix of mature (U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Japan) and emerging (Brazil, China, India, Russia, Mexico) markets.
Commenting on the paper, ESOMAR President Dan Foreman said: "There were so many amazing candidates, but this paper had 'annals of history' and 'pivotal milestone' written all over it. Comprehensive, exhaustive, provocative and grounded, I am delighted the jury agreed on the paper from Research Now. I look forward to hearing more from this group as the industry moves forward."
ESOMAR's Excellence Award is presented to a researcher -- or group of researchers -- whose conference paper has demonstrated a concrete contribution to the decision-making process while sustaining ESOMAR best practices. Nominated papers were selected from ESOMAR events between September 2013 and June 2014.
