Qualtrics
Overview
Qualtrics is a powerful tool for making online surveys used in academic research. It offers various question options, interactive features, and media to boost response rates. Users can access pre-made surveys or create their own. The collected data can be analyzed with graphs and charts in real-time. Reports can be exported in formats like SPSS, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, or PDF for presentations and research.
To use Qualtrics, log in with your GatorLink credentials. You can then create, deliver, collect, and analyze surveys while following survey research ethics.
UF Qualtrics allows restricted data collection without a risk assessment for certain data types. Check if your data needs an assessment by visiting the link UF Data Guide.

Research Services
As a longtime partner with Qualtrics, the University of Florida also has access to their Research Services team. We encourage you to utilize this resource as their team has experts in many aspects of research including sampling, translations, methodology, etc. Faculty and students wishing to take advantage of these services can reach out to UF's Qualtrics Research Services contact, Aidan Foster (afoster@qualtrics.com). Many UF faculty and students have benefited from streamlining the research process utilizing the resources as our partnership with Qualtrics has continued to grow. Aidan will be notified upon completion and start the feasibility and pricing process; he will then reach out when the quote is complete.

Unfortunately, SurveyMonkey does not have the ability to export a survey; therefore, one would copy and paste the questions from SurveyMonkey into Qualtrics. Qualtrics does support the ability to export and import.
Restricted data collection is permitted through UF Qualtrics. Some data types don't require a risk assessment. To see if your data type needs an assessment, please visit the UF Data Guide.
The shared survey will appear in the Shared with me folder. To see the folder and the Accept Collaboration button you need to have at least one survey in your UF Qualtrics account.
