Over the next few months, I will be working on the final major phase of the AO3 Demographics Survey 2024 project. The aim of this phase is to publish as much of the survey data as reasonably possible so that it is available to future researchers.
In order to do this ethically, this requires anonymising the data set. Since I am not a specialist in this, I would like to ask that if you have particular knowledge or expertise on the best practises here, please get in touch with me to discuss. If someone you know is an expert, please consider sending this post their way!
The best way to get involved is to join the project discord server: https://discord.gg/aAfmPVS9
However if you do not use discord or prefer not to join the server, I am happy to discuss the topic via Tumblr messages to this blog.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
