Submitting data
Although our consultants can help with correctly formatting data, we highly recommend that clients attempt to have their data appropriately formatted prior to submission to our service. More information about formatting data and using OpenRefine to clean up data. Examples of wide and long data formats (we recommend one of these be used for submission).
Project Scope
The majority of projects taken on by the SCS are what we call short-term consultations, with a total duration of no more than 15 student hours worth of work. Consultations anticipated to require substantially more than roughly 15 hours of work may be recommended for collaborative consulting. Evaluation of such recommendations typically will include a discussion of co-authorship on resulting end-products.
Policies on Acknowledgement of Statistical Consulting and Collaboration
For projects which lead to presentations, projects, or publications it is expected that appropriate authorship will be discussed for those statisticians substantively involved. When the scope of the work is limited to less than 15 hours, but nevertheless is used in a presentation, project, or publication, we would appreciate an appropriate citation or acknowledgment. For example, clients may include "We acknowledge the help of [NAME] of UConn's Statistical Consulting Services under the guidance of Dr [NAME]” as a footnote accompanying grant support and related projects."1 If you have any questions regarding our acknowledgement policy, please contact Timothy E. Moore at timothy.e.moore@uconn.edu.
