Thanks for sharing the talk!
Here is the Question-Link R-Package and an in depth tutorial on using it:

And please note that we also offer consultations regarding harmonization techniques (and other survey method topics).

#MeetTheExperts #mte
New #video on #YouTube: Meet our expert Dr. Ranjit Singh @https://fediscience.org/@r_k_singh@fediscience.org who will (1) briefly explain the #harmonization challenge, (2) explain how #QuestionLink resolves this challenge, and (3) give some practical guidance on how to tell if QuestionLink is the right fit for your project.

Matthias Roth (@rothm) and I published a new paper on survey data harmonization.
"One harmonization fits all? – Impact of missing population invariance on harmonization error when harmonizing social science survey questions with equating"
The paper again corroborates that observed score equating outperforms linear stretching on average. However, it also shows that it is better to derive a harmonization solution for single-item measures from a sample that is drawn from a similar population to the population you are interested in researching.
In a new paper, I simulate the consequences of combining survey data without proper harmonization techniques.
I demonstrate that there is a plausible risk of biased correlative analyses based on the integrated data, if we do not harmonize measurement units across different survey sources and instruments first.
Together with Cornelia Neuert and Tenko Raykov, I looked into "Assessing conceptual comparability of single-item survey instruments with a mixed-methods approach".
Innovations are using a confirmatory factor analysis on a collection of single item instruments and comparing it with qualitative findings from probing questions.
To illustrate the approach, we assessed the comparability of social (dis-)trust questions.

I would not call it competition, I would call it #harmonization. And it is also not ugly patchwork but a great composition if you are using #ApplicationProfiles. (source https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/standards.png)

QuestionLink now harmonizes German survey instruments for two additional constructs: General life satisfaction and general health: https://www.gesis.org/en/services/processing-and-analyzing-data/data-harmonization/question-link
We are pleased to announce our recent publication in Land Journal, "Challenges in the Geo-Processing of Big Soil Spatial Data".

Nice to be reminded that not only the EU has #harmonization issues...
