Am I allowed to post a survey on tech purchasing patterns for my research?

Tags: Emerging tech, Hardware, Off topic

I would like to post a survey for my research project on sustainability in the tech industry. is that allowed?
No selling or promotion is involved because I only need the info for a trainee project on SDGs.
No money incentives or any incentive really involved. I just need some opinions from the tech community.

There’s nothing in https://www.techrepublic.com/guidelines/ that says it isn’t allowed. So go ahead.

There might be a colleague moderator that deletes the request as spam or whatever, so please mention in your post that you asked for permission and was told the guidelines allow it. That might help to let it stay.

Remember that if it’s the usual link only and not the survey.

Survey links are often just spam so all survey links get nerfed.

But if you want to post the survey here, then that’s fine.

Yes, it is generally allowed to post a survey for research purposes, as long as it is not promoting or selling anything and there are no incentives involved. As you are conducting research on sustainability in the tech industry and not selling anything, it should be fine to post your survey. It is important, however, to make sure that you follow any guidelines or regulations related to research in your specific country or institution. Additionally, make sure to clearly state the purpose of the survey and how the information will be used. Good luck with your project!
