Updates & Feedback from 2018

At the end of the 2018 multi-funder data gathering period, upon completing their submission, award holders were asked to participate in a short survey to help us at Research Fish to identify and prioritise our efforts into delivering improvements to the platform.

Over 6,000 responses were received and we divided up the task of reading each response and categorising into different themes such as User Interface, Communications, Funder Feedback etc.

We accumulated the the top most common suggestions and focused on ways we could improve.

We have worked closely with the Comms Subgroup to address how to resolve the first three suggestions and as a result, we have produced two new documents; "Tips to Optimise Your Researchfish Submission for Both You and Your Funder" and "How is the Information Used by My Funder?" and we would welcome any feedback.

Some of the improvements required systematic changes that may not be visible to the end user, but are critically important.

Further improvements to the user interface, including look & feel and accessibility, are scheduled throughout 2019. We always welcome constructive feedback so please contact support@researchfish.com if you would like to submit any further ideas. For a full list of changes, see our fortnightly release notes.
