This project is a web-based rewrite of Egonet, which can be found on SourceForge. These two projects will soon be merged.

Differences from the desktop version on SourceForge

  • Different file format for study and respondent data - necessary to support new features.
  • Study authors can decide how respondents will be identified.
  • More sophisticated skip-logic and alter linking based on named, boolean expressions.
  • Number of alters can be configured as a range (optionally with no upper limit) rather than a fixed number.
  • Alter and alter pair questions can be asked separately for each alter, or asked once with a list of alters.
  • Responses to category questions can be reordered.
  • New category question preset: kin.
  • Category questions can allow multiple selections.
  • Can add a preface screen before any question.
  • Data is saved continuously to a database, rather than only saving when a study or interview is closed, so accidental data loss is less likely.

Additional features planned for this version

  • While creating a question, preview what it will look like while interviewing.
  • Navigable list of questions in the sidebar during an interview.
  • "Refuse" and "don't know" options added to each question.
  • Optional limit to range of numeric questions.
  • Interactive settings for visualizing social networks.
  • Support for web surveys.
